I’ve been trying to live in the moment. Present. Live in the present. I’ve been mindful about it. What I need is a better schedule. What I need is a happier teenage daughter. Sounds impossible in the early teen years. I’ve been a parent for over twenty years, so I know how teen years go - but why am I suddenly involved in so many difficulties colliding with

Time blocking! Every life skill I have is from being in the Real Estate business for fifteen + years. Time block being angry, sad, or a meltdown even. I had an agent on one of my teams time block his days down to spending time with his wife, free time, and prayers on top of his work schedule. His transformation was admirable. Not saying I am that dedicated. Time block being frustrated at your teenager. 🤷
Merch!!! I just read Anon Pls and that is the ending. Spoiler alert. Sorry.
Ravens have been present in my parents backyard for the last year or so, as they’ve had trouble with my brother. But also, my mom now feeds them so, who knows….
Teenage daughters. I could write a book about this. My daughter started acting strange at about 9 1/5. It occurred to me that she’d be starting periods in approximately 3 years. That was my answer to everything. Fasten my seatbelt and try not to die.
If you want to appease them, give the peanuts in the shell, berries, tufts of cotton, or tiny smooth stones (to aid in digestion). If you want them to leave - and this isn't a joke- put large googly eyes on the trees and house, just all over. If they glow in the dark, even better. Not sure why that works, but it does.
My current teenage daughter is so far more or less a cakewalk (famous last words) but when my youngest becomes a teenager I will be FIFTY-FOUR YEARS OLD so I expect her to be a bloody nightmare because she is already like a teenager at 5. I made...poorly timed reproduction choices. 🫠
I also have no money. But I reasoned that I would have bought 3 $20 books from you this year if available so a subscription is more or less that plus it’s like an interactive book where you read our responses and that’s like choose your own adventure stuff which is right up my 80s kid alley.
Money must make things easier to navigate. I hope to find out someday. Radical acceptance of what is now though, still super hard.

Witch wise, ravens often speak to times of change and transmutation. Finger's crossed that they're like hey let's transform her sitch.
Being an entrepreneur is like continually jumping out of a plane. We are wild mother fuckers.
I believe your theory on the ravens. They are terrifying. I would feel like my yard was haunted.

Are the three coffins for the three lives you lost, the cat lost, or your subtle plan for the kids, using no words?
