She/Her | PNW I love people and waterfalls

Tarot spread! First 3 cards on bottom row and 4th card above the second. 1. What stories do I tell about myself that need to be changed or dropped? 2. Where do I need to be less “me” focused and more “we” or “us” focused? 3. How can I grow into my abilities as a leader? 4. By de-centralizing myself, how can I co-create a better future? Alternative #4 4. How can sharing the spotlight improve things for my community?
A sticker. It looks like a window from MS PAINT (which is a basic drawing and graphics editing program that debuted in Windows 1.0, Alethe)
Hot pink nails with a chrome sheen added and nail art featuring a lock pick, usb, and Jack.
Bowl of blueberries.
A green sign hung from the ceiling says “Welcome Eugene Marathon” outside of the registration area.
A coffee cup and an empty aeropress with an aeropress top floating in the coffee. This is not the way this is supposed to work and is the result of user error.

A person is walking a long path alone, carrying 10 wands under the hot sun. The goal is far off and the sun is beating down, seeming apathetic to the traveler. They look discourage, but are trudging along.

A person is wearing a cape and riding forward on a unicorn, looking confident AND serene. They are surrounded by six wands. The wand they are carrying has a wreath attached to it, symbolizing eternity, cyclical nature of the universe, and continuity.
Seven of Swords - a person is moving away from the tent in a manner that suggests stealth. They’re successfully making their move without people paying attention although two swords are dropped and left behind.

Screenshot of a message between me and my younger sister under a missed call notification. I joke that I loved she thought I was awake when she called me at 10:32PM. She knows better than to call me that late for a non-emergency.

Cover art for “The Dream Hotel” by Laila Lalami. It’s a speculative fiction novel where all of your information, acquaintances, sociability, dreams, EVERYTHING is analyzed by some proprietary algorithm that impacts a risk score assigned to you. If it gets too high, you get sent to a “detention center” and held until your score is lowered (or never).
