I hope everyone is doing well and that life has been treating you kindly! It's been a roller coaster over here, people starting drama, scorching summer heat, unexpected incidents, etc. Some days are definitely easier than others, but all we can ever do is do what we can to make the best of the cards we've been dealt. The human experience can be a lot, full of such a wide arrange of emotions and situations, but do what you can to keep moving forward while being gentle with yourself. Also, remember to have fun, celebrate, and rest whenever possible; you are meant to enjoy the ride, so do what you can to fill up your cup, stop and smell the roses, and find joy, love, and gratitude along the way. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
The boys were excited for their shortened week due to the holiday. They bought me this super pretty turtle sun catcher type item that dangles; it was super sweet that they thought of me while they were on vacation last week! Otherwise, the boys enjoyed discussing movies, theories, Sonic the Hedgehog, politics, video games, and the like. They had some stories to share from their trip (such as going to the arcade, winning a bunch of tickets, and earning prizes like a Pikachu Funko Pop figure). It was a pretty laid-back week due to the holiday (although nobody particularly cared for the heat).
Tsuki was her typical goofy and adorable self. She enjoyed plenty of cozy cat naps, lounging, chill vibes, and playful antics and shenanigans. Tsuki didn't really seem to mind all the fireworks on the 4th, though, snoozing peacefully through it all. She snuggled up on the chair and in her cat house, sprawled out on her window shelf and the carpet, and enjoyed plenty of birdwatching and observing the various animals. Tsuki is super grateful for the AC with how hot it has been, allowing her to enjoy watching outdoor happenings while staying cool.

This week I created more new content for Creativity Chronicles, so feel free to check out the newest content! Also feel free to check out our Thought Spot section that explores various topics of thought and conversation! I finally figured out how to add a store option to Creativity Chronicles, which was exciting. I'll be looking to bring over new digital items over here, too.
New Creativity Chronicles' content included:
No matter what life throws at you, trust the process and show yourself some extra love and kindness. As long as you keep moving forward and do the best that you can, you can be proud of yourself. You don't have to get it perfect; you just need to keep showing up for yourself, keep taking steps in the direction you want to head, and keep picking yourself back up when you stumble and fall. You're making progress even if it doesn't look like it. Things are coming together, and the universe is working behind the scenes to have things play out for your highest good. Good things are happening even amongst the struggles, hardships, pain, and storms. It's okay to be human and have your emotions--give yourself permission to feel and be human. You're the work-in-progress and masterpiece at the same time, so give yourself grace and know that you're doing just fine. Your story isn't finished yet, so don't give up. You've got this! Please take care, and wishing you all a wonderful rest of this holiday weekend!
