January 25, 2023 People may respond differently to different herbs; this cat was loving it. 💕💕 —Peeko says, “But don’t take my Jane.” He enjoys classic books of literary style, often with portraits on the cover.

Love Me Like…Wind Down Slow Flow Yoga and Written Meditation
I wasn’t too glad with the video and the song particularly; I realized there are more videos I could do on my yoga channel @jadenicoleyoga. The wisdom part of the post that came after was not restoring, but I could see the full thoughts in draft. A tech issue that makes me realize what I […]

Why All the Sagittarius Birthday Wishes?: A Reflection on Self and Soul

Wellness, Water Hydration, My First Novel, First Week of Full Focus
*The water intake change has really made me feel sufficiently well (the most normal I’ve felt) and not impulsive: I was just drinking water all the time thinking more must be better, but that was very likely washing away medicine and so less effective. While not staying thirsty, I am gradually drinking about 9 cups […]

Peeko’s Paws Pressed Together, a Prayerful Expression with Compassion for a Fellow Rhyme-Loving Cat across the Country
Peeko loves praying with me, and he was interested in the rosary prayer today as he napped. Peeko has been rested now in a more private, less time on camera living, as one of my new year’s resolutions is to take fewer photos of Peeko, as he prefers more time relaxed in the moment. He […]

My Short Story Printed and Ready, and an Author from Mississipi
I had started writing my novel, which will be a longer length project, but I have been kind of following my desire and writing poems and this “gift” story in between. As I had written previously that I was writing a “secret story” to be given to someone as a gift at my family’s Christmas […]

Get the Party Started and then Welcome Relaxation
Besides sketching with pencils at the library, yoga arm balance against the wall is great fun, for an evening lift you up and then an eventual release of energy from the whole day—a quick hold, come down slowly, just a few, and then to relax, and to recline. 🙂 💕Jade
