is anyone else dealing with an emotional sugar crash? post halloween, end of year visibly bright, war raging on, unsettled nervous system... this week i have no guest just me.
one week ago i took my 2.5 year old into the hospital for a surgery, which left me completely focused on staying strong, calm and present for him. recovery has been quiet and full of gentle reflection. you'll i see a suggestion below for a movement practice that was recommended to me by my friend kristina (she makes quilt commissions fyi, i can connect you). i highly suggest taking 10 minutes out of your day for it. been making a lot of homemade applesauce, always pancakes saturday morning, and my daily bread practice (recipe in my cookbook which i will self publish one of these days for you all)
i finished my last evenbrite session last week, started workshops with my new mind blowing cohort through SPP, and making care packages for friends near and far going through it. other than that i'm coveting new music (i had NO idea she was dan akroyd's daughter!), watching this fool nightly, researching a new season of classes/courses, and plotting something exciting for my dear readers that will be revealed next "episode."
while this week is poor in introducing you to an amazing talented friend, its rich in hyper links and succinct suggestions. tell me anything, would love to hear from you.
