I decided to close out the last 100 days of 2025 with a poem of reunion daily... connecting early days with now. Join me in this playful writing experiment! #amwriting #dailypoetry #amwriting open.substack.com/pub/juliejor...

Playfully Ending 2025:

How this old lady is reviewing, reflecting & restoring her optimism even when the world feels like it is crumbling all around us.

So interesting how my natural clock is
back to waking me before #5amwritersclub begins.

I’m so grateful.

I’m also grateful I tromped around the woods 12 hours ago.

The beauty of writing?

There is no expiration date, no moment when you stop improving.

If you can manage words on the page, you my friend are in your prime. ♥️

Written in 2021 when I was hugging 377 trees in 377 days. "People sometimes ask why I hug trees.
Because they’re there. And hugging them brings me joy (even though getting to joy sometimes takes a while.) #377treehugs #treehuggerandproud

Driving toward home listening closely to Taylor Swift singing “Honey.” Healing is…. like the song says. Grateful. #OGSwiftie

So interesting to witness again and offer my then-self deep compassion. Thanks so much for reaching out to me now, too. 🤗

Definitely a treasure hunt!

That’s such a story. Wow. I found a letter my Dad wrote to his great-granddaughter and didn’t mail, so I was able to mail it… (meant to be read when she was older.)

Signs of life: enjoying reading and jotting, jotting and reading after sleeping all night. Awake without alarm at my favorite dark hour. This is what the outcome of a peaceful brain looks like. #amreading #amwriting

It’s a part of the process. I am grateful I got through it then and continue to learn from those days now. So grateful I kept hugging and kept documenting.

I had an excellent day - even reviewing my Spring 2021 moments in my #377TreeHugs adventures. I had conveniently forgotten those months included disseminated Cocci (Valley Fever) and my Dad’s death & then helping Mom transition to a new living situation. Seeing the expression on my face change. :-/

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

My treasure hunts this weekend seeking guidance & contemplative thought around this question “How may I become more defiantly and joyfully myself,
both in video and off AND on the page and off?” was inspired by a quote in George Saunders book, “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.” Results? YES!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

A2: I think some of it has to do with nervous system regulation at the physical level, then a sense of community at the emotional level, and a sense of identity at the psychological/mental level..at the spiritual level, 'finding your people'. And it's nice to drive familiar roads, too. #spiritchat
