This week, I had the experience of feeling pressured to “perform” grief over my divorce.
I know the intention behind the repetitive asking and prodding was one of love and concern, but it truly felt like I was either 1) expected to have a “moment” or “breakthrough” cry, or 2) not taken at my word

I have the energy now to take the next step down the path. October was brutal. I am hoping for easier days ahead.

I can ask difficult questions. I can experience pain. I can keep moving. There are glimmers for me. I want to keep finding them.

How do you move forward? How do you continue when step after step just feels like your heart is caving in? How do you hold your head up, and keep going to work, and keep cleaning house? I am tired of surviving. I am tired of this pain in my chest.

I just don’t want to have my heart broken anymore. It’s so hard to remain whole. I’m tired. I just want to be enough. I just want to be known. I just want to feel safe, and wanted and accepted and loved for who I am. I just want to be worth it.

You can’t ask for abundance to show up how *you* want it to show up. All you can do is recognize when it arrives.

This morning I woke up with two common phrases ringing around in my brain: “ your money, or your life” and “to build a new life you have to first burn the old one down.” I know this is my subconscious telling me that *now* is the hour, and it’s time at last to begin preparing (ruthlessly) for change

Today I am glad for my friend who helped me with my sewing machine. I am also glad to have another friend to sew for, and yet another friend to make candles for

How lucky am I to have such nice friends take me foraging?! Big lobsters and chanterelles today will surely keep me fed through the winter.

Joy is small. It is quiet. It sneaks in to everyday life and it can be overlooked so easily. I am trying not to overlook joy and contentment. I’m leaning into gratitude and peace.

Life is pretty funny. Sometimes you think you’ve found a treasure and you think you know what to do and how to treat it. Sometimes, through no fault of your own, you ruin it because of inexperience. Things are like that. People are like that. Not everyone or everything can be colorfast.

I’m living closer to the land than I ever have before. This evergreen huckleberry surprised me on my walk today and began to dictate the rest of my week with a demand for harvest. I am grateful for all the teaching I have received that will allow me to take advantage of the free food at my doorstep.

My partner comes from a farming family. When they share, I feel so lucky to have access to fresh food. They truly embrace the spirit of generosity. This week we had been gifted some figs. So naturally we have to make jam, and will give the family some.

I think that you can miss out on life by not romanticizing it. Breakfast today is from backyard chickens, homegrown tomatoes and home made apple butter. Naturally enjoyed with someone I love. Happy Sunday.

Today my cyclamen plant (a rescue from my research planting site) finally bloomed. I have never had a plant bloom indoors in my care before. It’s a very rewarding experience!
