I'm glad it resonated! Another thought I've had lately is how all of our personal energetic systems are shifting as a result of the major shifts in our external environment. I keep hoping to return to some former baseline of productivity and vitality, but not only am I transformed by motherhood, I think the downfall of capitalism/patriarchy is necessitating a change in how we're plugged into those systems, if that makes sense?
Like why do I want to keep going "harder, faster, better" if we know that is literally unsustainable for life and the planet? Just some random thoughts I'm integrating! 😅
You and I are thinking very similar things at the moment. And my parachute for surviving the fall will be writing like my life depends on it...and breaking out of a stale life situation (brought about by delayed burnout post-covid and the realisation that I had landed a little off-target) by actually doing what I've been saying I will do for ten years: travel to France/Spain and walk the Camino de Santiago. (Also like my life depends on it. I wrote in my journal a day or so ago, "I will complete this walk even if it kills me.) This action happens, happily, to coincide with some really significant astrological changes and the direction I'm hoping to steer my big writing project...so, even though I booked my flights a few weeks, ago...doing so was a pretty big win :) Thank you for sharing and inviting xx
Lauren! That’s so exciting! I can’t wait to hear more about it. Funnily enough, I’m swapping manuscripts with a girl who walked the Camino and made it part of her setting for a novel.
I hope the auspicious timing leads to all kinds of breakthroughs and inspiration and healing. I wish I was going with you! 💗
Awwww no! Hugs, Mariah! Frustrations on various levels. Dancing around helps a LOT. Curating playlists and making music keeps me sane. I'm so grateful for whatsapp to keep me connected with friends - we're all spread out. I hear you. hugs
Yes! Do you share any of your playlists? I have over a hundred on my Spotify and I agree--finding the right music for the mood definitely helps all the emotions surface for release.
Ahh love I feel you on that disappointment. U hope you got to enjoy the chilli anyway! Sounds delish!
I love that reminder to go as slow as our tenderest part… that is something I will take into the week ahead. Thank you xxx
