new beginnings

Surrendering to the call and letting myself be led

My time wintering wasn’t what I expected.  I had visions of hygge-licious days filled with soft light, warm blankets, good books, puppy snuggles, and naps.

 There was some of all those things. And there was a lot of work. For sure, there were moments of joy, but the time was not entirely enjoyable. Sprinkled amidst periods of contentment were moments of grief because this time wasn’t unfolding as I had imagined.

The last month or two of 2021 had me feeling very scattered and manic energetically. Poor sleep, an overactive mind (even more so than usual), relentless hot flashes, and a recurring rash told me my nervous system needed a break. I wanted—I needed—some quiet to calm my system so I could once again hear the whispers of my soul.
