@Rachel Milford what a wonderful spot! I love the music. It makes me feel like I'm in a film about to take off on an incredible journey filled with magic and mystery.
SFT Card Pull for the Labor Day Weekend
I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I decided to pull just from the FUNNY pile to give you something to reflect on and share with the group. I specifically chose funny again for the weekend in order for us all to think about what is our joy, what puts us in flow state and what gives us or how do we give pleasure. Please share in the comments so we can all bask in each other’s FUNNY.

Two things are coming to mind. 1) Mother Nature. Oddly enough at the moment we are getting some thunder and lightning which is quite rare. I still remember my first experience with T&L. The feeling of how the rumble, the crack can be felt in the body. It is pure wonder and excitement for me. I also have a similar experience when by the ocean and you can feel the waves crashing on beach the power and magic that is in those waves lights me up. I will be laughing and dancing on the beach feeling all that energy. 2) fireworks - I love the boom that shakes the heart.
Smart Funny Tortured Card Pull - TORTURED
The Tortured side of Smart Funny Tortured is where we face the things we’ve carried, hidden, or tried to bury—and where we find the strength that comes from bringing them into the light. Today’s card asks:👉 What’s something you used to hide about yourself that you now embrace? This is an invitation to honor the parts of yourself that once felt too heavy, too strange, or too shameful—and to celebrate the courage it took to reclaim them. Whether it’s your sensitivity, your ambition, your scars, your voice, your quirks, or something deeper—this is your space to share. Drop your answer in the comments ⬇️ Your story might help someone else finally see the beauty in what they’ve been hiding.

Being Gay - I denied it, hid it, felt ashamed of it, hoping it was a phase, rejected it, was scared of it. There definitely was a lot there growing up in rural farm country. Seeing others and myself being rejected by family was difficult to feel safe in at times. It wasn't until I started to accept my gayness that I started to feel true love for myself. I remember a year or so after coming out I was so happy to be gay. It created opportunities and adventures for me that I would not have been able to experience otherwise. There is still more to discover for that 100% authentic Lee to be active all the time, but it has been a wonderful journey that I am so grateful to be on.

In thinking about my response it hit me how I used "IT" associated with being Gay. and in essence what was/is truly under the surface was I denied being myself, I hid myself, I felt ashamed of myself, I was hoping I would change into someone else, I rejected myself, and scared of myself.

With the first Tortured discussion it felt really good to appreciate myself and to be grateful for who I am. It feels good to feel strong in who I am. This is a great discussion topic @Paul Chamberlain. I am sure there will be many things to add here as we work through this work and I am excited to celebrate everyone here.
Smart Funny Tortured Card Pull - FUNNY
🃏 What’s an activity that makes you feel like the real you? The three elements of Funny are pleasure, flow, and joy—those moments when you feel lit up and completely yourself. This weekend, I’d love for you to share:👉 What activity makes you feel the most like you?👉 Where do you lose track of time because you’re so in it? It doesn’t have to be profound—it could be cooking, sketching, dancing, gaming, storytelling, singing in the car, or just laughing with people you love. Share your answer below ⬇️ Let’s make this thread a celebration of the weird, wonderful things that bring us back to ourselves.
