dear friends,
I have been quiet for a few months.
It truly has been a winter, an extended retreat into my home and into myself.
As do many women going through perimenopause, I found myself really struggling with related issues and recently underwent a hysterectomy. Christmas left me quite exhausted, then I needed to prepare my body and mind for surgery.
This extended time of introversion has been a beautiful gift though.
I am waking up to the understanding that as women we are very much cyclical beings, predictably and elegantly going through our own seasons. For many years, I have been so hard on myself for the times when I am less productive and engaged with the world,
not understanding that it is during these times that can feel so empty that all is in fact getting ready to be born again.
Over these last few months, I have thought often about my next steps, and the long and winding path that has brought me here. At times it has felt as if I have been waiting for a decade for something to happen,
and then I realize that in fact everything has happened.
I have raised three children, I have buried a mother and a step-mother, I have undergone 3 surgeries one of which was quite major, I have navigated the school system trying to implement alternative & workable programming, I have supported my husband in his busy and intense career, and have begun to sow the seeds of my own.
And so here I am now.
It feels as if a chapter has ended and a new one is about to begin. Our kids are getting older and I can feel subtle new realities beginning to take shape as life alters in interesting ways,
and this long and winding road now feels as if it has happened in but a moment.
In terms of my work, I need to announce a few things.
Most of you know that I have pulled out of my little retail space and am no longer selling stationery. I will continue to do more workshops but they, too, are evolving into something new. This will be my last blog from WordPress as I am presently collaboratively building a beautiful new website that I am so excited about, and much of my writing will stream from there.
Stay tuned friends. Spring is on its way.
