Hi, I’m Carie. I write daily posts about navigating these times.
I hope this helps
I debated writing about this. But since it happened, I’ve wanted to shrink. I’ve wanted to hide. And at this age and stage, I’m not willing to do either.
I have far more interesting things to write about than this, but I can’t get back to sharing until I speak up. I trust this will reach those who need to see it.

Cheer real loud
Now is the time for us to amplify people’s voices who are just now learning how to speak.

I’m always so excited for spring. But tonight I noticed peonies blooming, and peonies don’t bloom in Denver until WAY after I file my taxes on April 15 at 11:59 p.m.
This fair-weather loving human has much enjoyed our unusually warm winter and dry spring but it’s not sitting right in my soul.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can absolutely, 100% trust the signs you’re being given. I do.

These sunglasses have a bifocal and made beach reading a dream and damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
The Journey by Mary Oliver
A long, long time ago, before I’d gone through hardships of my own, a dear friend told me that she went through a hardship at a young age so she could be a guide for those who face similar circumstances in the future. Now that I’ve been through my fair share, I see how true this is in my life, as well. Here’s a poem that once-upon-a-time saved me. Thankful for the wisdom and honesty of dear Mary Oliver.
Jane Goodall — “Hope requires action”
“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”

Here’s the blog I wrote before learning the WiFi situation in the Bahamas was not gonna let me post.
Back in the land of WiFi
Such a blessing to take my daughter on a lazy, nervous system regulating beach vacation. Thankful for a week of weak WiFi that prevented me from posting this blog.

But isn’t the return of spring and how it
up in our hearts a pretty good hint?

Jumping timelines
We get to choose the stories we tell ourselves. Pay attention to the ones you tell yourself.

In this post, I do not share what the charge I tried to dispute ended up actually being for. But if you’re lucky, ask me over a beer sometime, and maybe I’ll tell ya. 🤣
I get by with a little help from my friends
