A little whimsical, a little odd, unapologetically me, a beautiful soul who appreciates what this earth has provided us. I love my cozy life, my spouse, kids, pets, home, and garden. 🌈 ally, 🔵 in Oklahoma.

If you are on the struggle bus like me during these tumultuous times—don’t forget to take care of yourself. It’s okay that it is hard to watch and process. Because if it were easy to see, you wouldn’t recognize yourself anymore. That’s not weakness—it’s the most precious strength.

Letter from the office of Representative Stephanie Bice that reads:

As your Congresswoman, I am committed to working toward comprehensive immigration reform that would strengthen border security and provide commonsense safeguards. In the 118th Congress I was a cosponsor of H.R. 163, the Security First Act.
This legislation would bolster federal resources through the Department of Homeland Security's Operation Stonegarden program to improve overall border security by investing in sensors, communications equipment, and drone technology.
Further, the bill would strengthen collaboration with state and local law enforcement.
Now that President Trump has entered into office, it is time to secure our border once and for all. Please know that I will continue to support efforts to strengthen border security and to address deficiencies in our nation's immigration policies.
Once again, thank you for contacting me to share your views. Your input helps me to more effectively represent the people of Oklahoma, and I look forward to staying in touch. I encourage you to visit my website at www.bice.house.gov and follow me on X, Instagram and Facebook.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Bice
Member of Congress

Letter from the office of Representative Stephanie Bice that reads:

Dear Mrs. Eneff,
Thank you for contacting me to share your views regarding our nation's immigration policies.
America has always been a nation of immigrants, but the country's current immigration system doesn't serve Americans or immigrants well. Despite efforts to strengthen border security, the U.S. still does not have operational control of the porous U.S.-Mexico border. As the daughter of an immigrant who worked hard and followed the legal processes to come to America and eventually gain citizenship, it pains me to see this nation's immigration laws being disregarded

Representative Stephanie Bice is showing the fact that she can’t be bothered to read emails sent to her AND that she’s just a lil ol racist white lady. I plan to send this email to every single subject option she has. Daily. Until I get a satisfactory response.

White background, black text that reads:

Ms. Bice
Abrego Garcia was arrested by ICE on March 12 and sent to El Salvador on March 15, where his wife recognized him in a video showing the shackled and shaven prisoners being arrayed by Salvadoran authorities.
A federal judge already barred further removals under the Alien Enemies Act while proceedings play out in court. That decision triggered Trump to call for the impeachment of judges who have ruled against his administration. The judge, James Boasberg, is also weighing whether the Trump administration defied his order by deporting some Venezuelans to El Salvador after he demanded the March 15 flights be halted or turned around.
The administration contends that despite the
"good faith" error, Abrego Garcia is unlikely to face torture in El Salvador in part because the U.S. government made a broader assessment of El Salvador's intentions when it deported the larger groups of migrants.

White background, black text that reads:

The Trump administration now says there's nothing it can do to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to U.S. custody. The Justice Department is urging a federal judge to reject a petition by Abrego Garcia's attorneys to seek his return to United States custody, saying the Trump administration has no power to force El Salvador to facilitate that demand — and that the courts have no authority to issue such an order.
"This court should defer to the government's determination that Abrego Garcia will not likely be tortured or killed in El Salvador," Justice Department attorneys wrote. "Although the government erred in removing Abrego Garcia specifically to El Salvador, the government would not have removed any alien to El Salvador ... if it believed that doing so would violate the United States' obligations" under an international anti-torture treaty.
This is absolutely unacceptable. This is a direct violation of a court order. Chalking a man's life up to an administrative error and shrugging your shoulders that there is nothing to be done is the least American thing I have ever heard. Are you guys serious?!

White background, black text that reads:

Why are we sending people with NO DUE PROCESS to El Salvador prisons where we have no recourse to bring them back if we find we have made mistakes because of the lack of due process-which is written into the constitution for everyone on American soil. Some of your colleagues seem to need that reminder, fyi.
This makes us look WEAK. This administration is admitting despite being the most powerful nation in the world, El Salvadoran prisons and the El Salvador president hold more power than we do.
I demand something be done. This is unacceptable. The judicial system is a part of the check and balances we have in this nation.
Deal with it. And not by defunding the judiciary as Mike Johnson proposed.

Today marks one year without my soul cat, LucyFur. She took a piece of me with her a year ago. Losing her was harder than losing my parents (one to death and the other to going NC). She was there through all of it. Every now and again I catch a glimpse of her in the corner of my eye, though.

If someone could explain to me how TikTok is a national security risk but cabinet heads and the VP talking war plans over signal on personal cell phones while accidentally adding a reporter and not noticing once isn’t that would be great.

I stayed up to watch it 💜

I released a lot of things last night and feel like I need to recharge today, physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally…all of them 🤣

Knock on the door. Sales man starts in trying to sell me windows. In this economy 💀

Me: “I’m going to interrupt you and tell you no thank you”

Him: “Ma’am is the owner of the house in?”

Me: “You didn’t really think that would work did you”

Even better, confirmed ICE protest in this conservative town 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nikki @nikkieneff.bsky.social · Feb 28

Just drove past the high school in my conservative Oklahoma town (there is a church on literally every corner 🙄).

There is a group of 100+ students with signs in English & Spanish —did not have time to catch what they said—but I did hear them chanting “F*ck Donald Trump!”

I needed that today. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Watching Trump’s and Vance’s narcissistic abuse of Zelensky was hard.

Zelensky is being punished for having the audacity to not bend to Trump’s will. Full stop.

We are about to punish Ukraine for wanting sovereignty over themselves.

My 10 year old has more emotional maturity than these guys.

Same.

But in Oklahoma, I know most of the people I encounter on a daily basis did vote 🍊. It’s horrifying. We are steadily trying to rebuild that trusted circle because how can you ever get past that this is what they wanted 🤯😭

Healing is messy. You will uncover things you thought long healed that need attention. It just means you are building trust with yourself to honor and walk through those things. Grieving is messy. Trauma is messy. There is no “right way”. There is just your way. You are worthy of this work.

White box with black text that reads:
Tears are a physical manifestation of energy. They are meant to flow. To be witnessed. To be acknowledged. They are a chance to hold space for your pain, for injustice, for loss. They are a portal for your grief.

Witness them. Thank them. Release them. Don’t force them to back in your body when they are screaming to come out. Honor them. There is magick in honoring yourself—allowing full expression of your mind, body, and spirit.

If you’re in a red state, call your reps. They are trying to pass through some shady 💩. Especially if you’re in OK. They are trying to end no-fault divorce & bring in covenant marriage 😵‍💫. Call today!!!

And also call and annoy your federal reps. Let them know you are informed and disapprove.

White background with black text that reads:

Called Ms. Stephanie Bice to voice a litany of concerns about our democracy.

Don’t worry y’all. Her staffer ensured checks and balances are totes working and that 🍊 has honored all of the judicial orders.

When I asked how it was appropriate or democratic for the American President to truth social: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD.
Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”(bold emphasis mine)—I got interrupted, told to have a nice day, and was promptly hung up on.

Anyway, call your reps and annoy them.

While discussing dinner options my husband says, “We could work together to-”

🤣. Sir. I’m going to stop you right there. That sounds like way more effort than I’m willing to currently put in.

Great news is that there are pizzas in the freezer 😉

I did make homemade soup for lunch though.

After a two year hiatus, gardening is back 💜. My mom passed in 2023 when garden prep would normally start & it just didn’t happen.

The year beyond that my dad went wack-a-doodle & after 8 months of that trauma, I didn’t have a 2024 garden season in me.

The garden is making a 2025 comeback 💜💜

A black shelf of red solo cups (stacked two high with a marble between them so the first cup that has drainage holes can drain into the second cup), filled with soil and lit up with some garden lights and a shop light. It’s not fancy but it works.

When you value and honor yourself—there isn’t an argument in the world that could convince you that you aren’t worth the effort of being treated with dignity and respect.

It astounds me how quickly people revert to suggesting you just abandon yourself as a means to “fix a relationship”.

White box with text that reads:

There isn’t one event that results in going no contact with a parent. It’s death by a thousand cuts. And not just from the pain of going no contact and everything that led to that decision.

When you go no contact, the world clutches its pearls. You endure the never ending advice and judgment of people who believe they get to have input as to whether or not your boundary is valid.

It’s a wild ride. Today my mother-in-law tried to shame me for still not talking to my dad. I declined to receive that shame. Instead I said with conviction and passion for my own wellbeing, “I am worthy of being treated with dignity and respect.”

That made her very uncomfortable 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

(Ends with a hands up/whatever emoji and a sideways crying laughing face emoji)

Lil update: Y’all, this Yule inspired cleaner smells AMAZING!!! Slight vinegar on the tail end but mostly tree and orange. This lil potion brewed around 4 weeks. Diluted with moon water from the first full moon of the year. Looking forward to infusing my home with her magick. #WitchSky

Honey/amber colored liquid in two very large mason jars (gallon and 3/4 gallon size)

Liquid inside made of Fraser fir needles, orange peels, and cinnamon sticks soaked in vinegar for about a month and then strained out and diluted with moon water.
