She may yet come back when they babies are off on their own?

I'd like to think that. She was certainly a gift to me. I love this photo because you can see the Light shining off and in her. An opossum on the outside - a sparkling bit of spirit on the inside? I feel like I still have so much more to learn - to pay better attention - to listen...

Yes Jena...she was your spirit animal and little shining light. God knows I have so much to learn too. Huge hugs...jennifer

Thank you Jennifer. Your posts always brighten my days.

As for E. Jean, I have been following the WA Post’s live coverage. What she is having to endure is horrible. I posted to the Conflab about it asking for everyone to send love. Hope they do. Update me on how life is treating you

What E. Jean has been through and is now going through with Trump's legal team is exactly the reason women stay quiet. Because it's like emotionally being raped and humiliated all over again. It is disgusting. As for my life...sigh. The on going saga with my husband's work with his boss dying and leaving everything a mess is something so awful and completely out of my control that I am learning the hard way to tune out. How is your job search? It is a tough time. I admire you for keeping your spirits up Jena. 💗

I am working on an aging project (website, logo, etc). It's not much but it is something as I keep applying. I'll write about it here soon as the work the founder is doing is important. Honestly it is all a little confounding. I wouldn't be here if friends were not helping me.

My spirits aren't up so much as on hold. I am exhausted. A part of me simply can't believe I am in this situation. It's tempting to think you've done something wrong, are not qualified, not talented enough, etc. Of course I know that's not true.

The other day I heard the song "Galileo" by the Indigo Girls. Have you heard it? Here's the link: https://youtu.be/dI1keSSwdcI

That's one explanation anyway - LOL

Your husband must be beside himself. That is so rough! Are things getting sorted out or is he having to look for work again too?

Sending love and light your way. Keep me posted.

My husband and one other lawyer are doing their best to try to stsrt a new practice. But there are so many moving parts, betrayals, another lawyer on the other side who refuses to answer their proposals that the situatuation often looks like the Titanic. My husband wants to try to have the others in the small firm be okay too because they too are vulnerable to this betrayal debacle. One paralegal just had a baby with his wife 4 months ago. It is a mess. But my husband has integrity and is trying his hardest to do the right thing even though his dead boss did not. Ugh. I am trying my best to look at this situation with curiousity and not fear. It has been rough with me taking care of a very sick grumpy Trump & Tucker loving 88 year old father and dealing with the financial fallout of my husbands dead bosses betrayal. Life is a rollercoaster. I am hanging on the rails!! Haha! Love to you Jena.
