So…tonight is a new moon. In Pisces specifically…my moon sign…and to my surprise, (why am I surprised) this little nudge popped up in my Facebook feed inviting me to participate in a “then and now” challenge. Here’s what I posted…
then…and now
a generation
only lasts a short lifetime
dreams of youth pending

…love, peace, and glimmers to you, in authenticity and truth always and all ways…
finding the perfect ending
I’m long past the old standard, sincerely
sincerely yours is dated, flat,
for a time i’d settled on best wishes
then best regards, after all I supposed
they mean the same thing,
though nuanced variations can shift
sentiments however slightly
kind or warm regards…not feeling it
a simple regards or best…a bit lazy
all the best, is a bit too much, rather subjective…whose best or what best
best in any variation is awkward at best
it does not convey warmth or cordiality
it’s a quandary I’ve wrestled with
how to end a general business email note
Respectfully, Faithfully, Yours truly,
or Truly yours imply too much warmth,
a bit too intimate for my taste…*sigh*
thank goodness for electronic signatures
all business, no parting sentiment needed
simply a pre-formatted formal
name, title, and contact details
only my truest, dearest friends know me as Kat
kind, warm, best, and true goes without saying

Random thoughts for today. This is the sort of thing that keeps me up at night. Silly me. Writing about it gets it out of my head and settles things once and for all.
The truth is, it doesn’t matter. And finally realizing that glimmer of truth is one more step toward liberation. Many of us start our adult life believing that so many things matter. But as we get older, and hopefully wiser, we realize that the only things that really matter are love, authenticity, and truth. This little exercise of random thinking out loud this has made me feel lighter and brighter. ✨😊✨
Peace, love, and glimmers to you. (No sincerely needed)

bff (best furry friend)
such a good listener
I can tell her anything
my secret keeper

My little dog, Gabby is always close by. She watches me intently, listens to my every word. And I often wonder what she must be thinking as I babble on and on. She sees my happy, sad, crazy side and follows me around like my shadow. She is my resident glimmer. We don’t deserve dogs. They are the perfect example of unconditional acceptance and love. May we all experience this perfect love at least once in our life.
Peace, puppy love and glimmers to you.

I’ve spent the evening wrestling with senseless words…too many words…tonight’s simple haiku will have to do. At the very least I have managed to be present. That’s something. That’s a pretty big something.
Peace, love, and silent golden glimmers to you.
Shhhhhhh…..kat
remember…
we are not broken
as fools have said
you are a brilliant, ferocious,
magic, dazzling star child
with heart and a voice
on fire for truth…use it
~kat
peace, love, and dazzling glimmers to you…use that beautiful voice of yours!
like mercury colliding...
