Stacy Cahalan, Therapist & Typographer Hey There, I am Stacy! I am a therapist, writer and typographer. I have a hypothesis that we are all wandering this earth looking for meaning and connection.

For me, words hold my world together. Words create stories. Stories create our lives. XOXO. My goal is pretty simple: To design a life with few regrets.....and some damn good stories. And because sharing is caring - enjoy!

Husband says: I wish you could just sit on the couch more often. Like just sit. Chill. Be still.

Dog says: I wish you could just lay on the couch more often. Like just lay down so that I can lay on you and make you be still.

I say: And now what? Like how long should I just lay here and do nothing? Need some feedback. Or perhaps an intervention.

I came across these words today and they made me pause.

Probably because I have been living like a nomad. Not out of a van (yet), but rather out of a pink and purple duffel bag.

When I think of reverence and attention I think of slowing down enough to recognize where we are, who we are with and the moment we are in now.

And merely giving these things our ordinary attention.

Because ordinary consistency seems to be a kind of salve that solves a lot of our ***issues***.

Woke up early in a hostel on the top bunk with both strangers and kin in the room with me. And the perfect tinge of an altitude headache. And then THIS from Ursula!

Sometimes we must get away from it all with our people to find this new direction.

“Great artists make the road; good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain’t no free rides, baby. No hitchhiking. And if you want to strike out in any new direction — you go alone. With a machete in your hand and the fear of God in your heart”. — Ursula K. Le Guin

The radical hospitality of humans!! Tomas, the French bartender, teacher and historian working in rural Norway who, between making sure 60-70 humans had enough alcohol, resumed conversations with us right where we left off. The beautiful Turkish man who got Chris to drink tea, taught us how to properly eat Baklava and relished telling us stories about women he has dated, married and his cat named MadJohn, his one true love, who he walks after work every night. The man who runs an emergency bike repair shop — available 24/7. The humans who carefully construct and install these precious insect hotels. The restaurant owner who invested in these two painted toilets so that girlfriends can go p*e together.

Please do something really well today because it will make someone’s day more meaningful.

Okay, I have experienced a lot of nature therapy, but moss therapy may be the some of the best yet.

Moss doesn’t have true roots, but instead moss has tiny little structures that anchor itself when the environment is just right — a rare combination of temperature, humidity and moisture.

Some Moss Therapy Notes:
- Growth doesn’t always require deep roots but rather when she knows things are right, they are just right.
- Moss grows slowly and its individual shoots create beautiful little cushioned communities.
- Moss doesn’t show up when conditions aren’t right.
- But dormancy doesn’t always mean death — when conditions are right again, moss will resume growth.
- Moss can grow perfectly well around obstacles.
- Moss isn’t concerned about optimization or sp*ed — when conditions are right, she grows.
- When conditions aren’t right, she rests.

Astrid Lindgren wrote the Pippi Longstocking stories in the 1940s, when girls weren’t allowed to do a lot of things. And then there was Pippi — with a suitcase full of gold coins, a horse who lived on her porch, a pet monkey, astonishing physical strength, and absolutely no interest in behaving or thinking the way girls were expected to.

I mean keep doing all of the things.
It sounds like the stress is slowly killing your spirit.
But it also sounds like a part of you loves the dysfunction.
I mean keep doing all of the things.
Or not. You know you could just walk way from some of this s**t, right?

As the mother of a soon-to-be firefighter, these facts were humbling and striking.

- Within 5 seconds of the first plane hitting the North Tower, fire fighters were putting together a plan.
- Within 4 minutes, 235 fire fighters were dispatched.
- Ultimately, 200 fire houses responded across NYC — around 11,200 firefighters were involved.
- While thousands of people were walking DOWN stairs, firefighters were all walking UP the stairs.
- 25 years later, 58 children of the 343 firefighters who died on 911 have joined FDNY.
- For 9 months after 911, tens of thousands of emergency responders were on site looking for bodies and cleaning up debris.
- 65% of these emergency responders now have health issues related issues due to working in a toxic environment.
