My brother and his sophomore year college roommates absolutely DID buy a giant outdoor inflatable snowman and set it up in their dorm. 🤣⛄️

Anastasia! Thank you so much for answering questions and I particularly want to thank the Kula diaries readers for asking questions. These two dear hearts asked difficult questions and I want to tell both of them that I really appreciate them for asking. They have both touched on things that I have been feeling but hadn’t yet thought carefully about or put into words.

I wanted to share with the un-celebrant that I have been working through this too. Take time to enjoy your little spots of sunshine, your small successes.

Personally, my therapist kindly pointed out that if I am on my own quest seeking out injustice, searching for trouble, finding the problems when I am not well enough I won’t actually be able to fix anything. I have to try to look after my self, my body and mind first. It’s no good limping onto the battlefield in shattered armour. I will only burden those who I want to protect. Take care of yourself, I hope you can nurture your joy and find a few things to celebrate so that you can be ready to go do something to help with the things that make your heart ache. Maybe celebrating in the same manner you used to isn’t fulfilling you now. Maybe you just need to find a different way to celebrate.

Questioner two, I really understand how you feel! I still get absolutely livid when I see people I care about hosting or attending events without a care for those who can’t attend or participate in the same way, and in ways that are putting themselves and their attendees at risk. My anger doesn’t do anything to stop them, and it also doesn’t help me any. I hope you are able to find ways to either create new ways to interact with your people, or feel better about pulling back from the relationship. You don’t have to burn a bridge, maybe you just need to find another way across, or just stay on the other side and don’t use that bridge at all.

Great song, and I am happy to get to hear your violin!

Oh how I wish I could have seen you guys dressed like Hobbits at your concert! I loved listening to this post and your song while I made dinner tonight. You do such a good job with your audio! I never hear you make any mistakes ( I’m doing the audio for my book on my Patreon page right now and I make so many mistakes, and sometimes I re-record but mostly I don’t 😂)

I make so many mistakes when I read too!! I have a Yeti microphone and I record using audacity… so it is very easy for me to delete a mistake and re record immediately 😂 thank you so much for listening Mindi!
