Looking Within

I’m noticing something as a result of all my travels. When I am home, everything is compressed. 

I have less time to do all the things and see all the people. As a result of the busyness, I notice some old patterns reappearing: I feel the magnetic pull towards, “You’re not doing enough” or “You are disappointing those around you.” 

This, in combination with the chaos of the breaking news that’s happening every day? Time to amp up the self care.  ​

“We’re here for a little window. ​
And to use that time to catch and share shards of light and laughter and grace
seems to me the great story.”

Hello!

Last week’s newsletter was a big one. I appreciate every single question and all of the conversations. If you missed it, or you want to take another read, you can find it here. 

I don’t think I’ve fully recharged, yet. 

So, I’m going to take some extra time to walk in the woods, admire the daffodils, cook some nourishing foods, hug those around me, and figure out how I can continue being of service in this rapidly changing landscape.  

Yesterday, at one of my low points, I glanced up while doing dishes. There, on the fence post, was a blue bird. I got to watch him for a while, and it felt like a bit of magic. 

There truly is beauty all around, and sometimes it’s right outside your kitchen window.  

I aim to be part of the “great story” as identified in the quotation above. 

May we all continue to share shards of light, and laughter, and grace. 

Until next time,
