There has been a major development in my relationship with the cat in the alley behind my house. #CatsOfMastodon #CatsofFediverse #Cats
Here's a couple more pictures of the cats behind my house. We will become friends and I will find them new homes! #CatsOfMastodon
I need to go to work but if I go outside to get to my car I'll scare away the cat who is eating the food I put outside for them. #CatsOfMastodon

Happy Hildegard of Bingen Day!

Some quotes from St Hildegard:

"The mystery of God hugs you in its all-encompassing arms."

"Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of Divinity."

"Just as a circle embraces all that is within it, so does the God-head embrace all. No one has the power to divide this circle, to surpass it, or to limit it."

This weekend I led a retreat at Sophia Spirituality Center where I work. It was called Compassion as a Way of Life and it was based on the Boundless Compassion program by Sister Joyce Rupp. I had a small but wonderful group of amazing people attend who are striving to be compassionate presences in the world. It was such a good experience for my first retreat at Sophia, and I hope to lead many more!!!

My cat's name is Meatloaf... But sometimes I call him Stinky Whizzleteats, which comes from the name of a character on Ren and Stimpy. He sang the song "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy." What names do you call your pets that aren't their real names?

I wrote this on Facebook but it was too long to type it out here, so I took a screenshot. But, of course I'll include the whole thing in #AltText #Olympics2024 #LastSupper #DragQueens #OpeningCeremony
It's true. I have.
