Coffee With Strangers

Getting social on Tinder
Coffee With Strangers

Getting social on Tinder

People have many different ideas about what Tinder is. Is it a hookup app? Is it a dating app? Is it something else? Opinions and intentions vary. To me, any use of Tinder is a good and valid one. I once got some web development work instead of a date from someone. Sometimes I end up making friends instead of finding relationships.

Love in a pandemic

Everything is harder during a pandemic, and love is one of those things. Love is hard during a pandemic because we all need so much more of it and many of us have less to give.

This was not my plan

I’m in a newish relationship, and I had planned to have so much fun and excitement with my love. But now we are stuck in coronavirus hell.

Don't be a douche
Coffee With Strangers

We’re all in this together, so don’t be a douche

I just attended one of the most amazing musical performances I have ever witnessed. It was The Indigo Girls playing with a full orchestra on the stage of the Mahaffey Theater here in St. Petersburg, Florida. Every song was a dramatic journey from start to finish. It was enchanting, and I was mesmerized.

Taking social risks

Many things I do are cause for great consternation among my family members. For example: going to Europe by myself for several months, voluntarily giving up owning a car for several years, and online dating.

Where is the Noah's ark of our time to give humani Where is the Noah's ark of our time to give humanity the big reset? If God was unhappy with them, I can't imagine how she's feeling about us. Particularly the fact that so many have accepted our apathy and barbarism as normal. 
The craziest part is the crazy of us doing nothing every time and expecting something to change, then being surprised when it doesn't. 
The world needs a hug... and a conveniently directed asteroid. 
Taking a deep breath and tuning out for a bit.

Had a seriously fun morning with a friend, colleag Had a seriously fun morning with a friend, colleague, client, and coach. I got her on a kayaking kick when we went for my birthday, so we went back to Weedon Island today.
Then, a walk through the preserve to the lookout tower that we passed on our kayaks. 
Followed by a delicious brunch at @noblecrust 
It was so nice to be out in the sun. I'm trying to enjoy the weather before it turns ferocious.

Y'all, I am NOT usually a technology early adopter Y'all, I am NOT usually a technology early adopter. (Ironically) 
But I've been interested in how ChatGPT might help me with marketing. (Blog post content, social media content, SEO optimization, etc.)
So, I paid $27 to get a tutorial and a bunch of example prompts. 
Tonight, I got it to write two blog posts (one with URL citations) that I was able to edit and post in about 15 minutes. They were very optimized, more so than most content I produce. 
Then, I read an article about ChatGP writing code. You can see I got it to write a simple WordPress plugin to display the time on the Doomsday Clock.
It's a little finicky about writing code, but I'm excited to see what I can get it to do.

I had a wonderful afternoon of giving hugs at @mus I had a wonderful afternoon of giving hugs at @museumofmotherhood. The weather was delightfully chilly, and I had a lot of participation with my "joy board."
Afterward, I mingled with fellow artists at an after-party. 
Now I'm sitting with a warm cat in my lap, thinking about how lucky I am.

I have received this letter multiple times in my l I have received this letter multiple times in my life, and it never gets old. 
I'm going to divert those monthly payments into a high yield IRA savings now. 
If I can make this vehicle last 4-5 more years, I will have gotten a ton of value out of it. Considering I barely drive 8000 miles a year, I think it's feasible.

Feeling so grateful for this night in so many ways.

Got my first shingles vaccination yesterday, and i Got my first shingles vaccination yesterday, and it REALLY hurt. I was afraid this morning's yoga class would suck, but all my massaging and stretching last night worked wonders.
I got to see some fun sidewalk art on the walk to yoga and was enticed to buy a few pretty things at @piecesofadreamgifts on the walk home. I love supporting this local business. ❤️
Feeling really content and grateful today. 🌿
