‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

I just made zucchini bread for the first time in probably 7 years, which is also how long ago I was last pregnant. It’s amazing how long it can take the body to finally settle after a huge life event (or series of events). Let’s be gentle and patient with ourselves.
