My sweet Best Boy Bodhi. A year has gone by. I’ve learned that the best process is the one I don’t try to control, that no matter how much time goes by I will have a YOU shaped hole in my heart and that’s ok. Grief is a familiar friend now and it comes and goes as it pleases. Whenever it surprises me I make room for it without spectacle or shame. 2 weeks ago I went to throw away our bathmat, the one you always laid on - where I spent our last night at home together lying next to you watching you, and grief came so suddenly it took my breath away. I know it’s just a bathmat but I clinged to it, curled up on it and let myself break. I’ve grown a lot this year. I know how to let myself be vulnerable now, I know how to be softer now, I am kinder+more loving to other people and myself now, I am trusting myself more, I am activating, I am finding a flow. But FUCK I would trade all of it to have more time with you instead. With grief on my chest it all felt like just bullshit I made up to distract myself from the pain of missing you my baby boy. I MISS YOU. A physical ache in my heart. I didn’t fight it or try to hang on to it. I let it move through me. Then I picked myself up. And now I have a new bathmat. I’m just gonna keep doing things, I guess. Keep living this life as best I can even though you’re not in it anymore. I love you my Bodhi boy. Every step I take forward I wish you were by my side. I love you forever and ever. by @celesteden

Hot Girl Summer ✅ Not bad for someone who doesn’t even wear heels in real life anymore 😂 Thx to @polinaglen.dance and @charlotte_nevins for creating a safe space so I can learn to lean into my feminine, to love myself and my body #ageisjustanumber #loveyourbody #moveyourbody #heelsdance by @celesteden

This fearful but sweet girl came to me and immediately gave me all her trust+love. She healed me deeply in ways I didn’t know I needed. Watching her grow braver+more confident made me believe I could do it too. So many times the words I said to encourage her I realized were words I needed to hear myself. I get it now…how fostering helps save these precious fur babies but they actually save us instead.

Noor is back with @thelabellefoundation for her spay surgery and then she’ll be ready for adoption. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you’re looking to add a fur baby to your life consider this amazing girl. She still needs work but don’t we all? She is courageous and spirited and SO SO loving! Even if you’re just considering fostering, please reach out to LaBelle - Noor will be needing a new foster while she awaits her forever family.

Where are you tonight my beautiful boy? I don’t know what to do with myself. I would give anything to spend tonight cuddled with you on the couch protecting you from the scary fireworks like we’ve done for the last 10 years. How am I suppose to say goodbye to this year when it was the last one I got to spend with you? I’ve been healing slowly since I felt your heart stop against mine, since you took your last breath in my arms, but these last 2 weeks I can’t stop crying again. As if I am losing you all over again. I look for you in every dog I see. I distract myself with this and that, but every time I come back to stillness there is only I MISS YOU. Our space feels empty without you. When I can’t take it anymore I speak your name into the thick silence and for a second I pretend you’ll appear. I tuck my foot under the pillow on the couch and after a while it almost feels like it’s you. I MISS YOU. 2025 - the year I finally learned how to distinguish the feeling of vulnerability from humiliation. I wish it didn’t come at such a cost. I didn’t know what people meant when they said “soul dog,” but now I think I know. You were my home, my constant, my joy, my comfort, as I was yours. You were my anchor whenever I felt lost, but now I must steady and find direction on my own. Am I ready? Am I strong enough without you? I have no idea what this next year will bring but I promise to meet it as best I can even if my heart is in tatters, even if it will never be whole again without you. I MISS YOU my Bodhi boy. I love you forever. by @celesteden

Had 2hrs to kill in NYC so I wandered into MOMA and fell in Love with Ruth Asawa. I have never experienced art that felt like HOME before - not just that her work is visually/aesthetically exactly my taste (I seriously want my house covered in it), but also that who she was as an artist and the place from which she created resonates so deeply with who I am and how I move through life. When you can see/feel yourself in the art of a stranger…the space it creates within is profound. by @celesteden
