This morning I am tired and sad and extremely stressed. It's all getting to me despite a lot of effort to stay positive and be kind.

The police are involved and I've just been trying to keep my puppy inside as much as possible. Mind you this is after we've already lost all of our regular activities.

All we had left was going into the back yard and now that's an incredibly hostile place where I get screamed at and insulted and my dog gets death threats.

Tomorrow we are going to go back to the farmer's market for the first time. I am honestly terrified. I don't want to give into fear, I strongly believe letting this stop my community building efforts would not be the right step.

This is all so so hard and I am doing it mostly all alone.

Any pep talks or inspiring motivation would be really helpful.

Here's Princess Aurora excited that someone came to visit, if only the guy who mows are lawn ๐Ÿฅน

She's so cute ๐Ÿฅฐ I'm sorry, Kip! There's something between sinking into the stress and fear (not helpful) and trying to talk yourself out of it (rarely helpful). Can you allow those feelings - don't expand on them but don't fight them either - as you take the actions you want to take? when you'r...

The neighbor is just mad at their own self. If the police talk to her she will probably redirect her anger at them, and then be to scared to go outside. Exciting about the farmers market again. Hopefully you can put the tent up in a better area away from crazy old lady parking spots.๐Ÿ˜‚

You are being tested before you reach the next level of life you are destined for. It always happens that way. You have to prove you are worthy to move up in life. You are worthy of your goals and dreams. Keep going. Face your stress with grace and dignity and don't let others derail the life you w...
