Be kind and gentle with yourself, your creative flow, and your energy coming into this hectic space. It’s definitely a learned thing to simply allow yourself to take care of the bare minimum when overfunctioning is seen as a symbol of worthiness and even a survival response (I’m writing about some new realizations in this area soon 😪). We’ll be here when you’re creative juices run freely from your fingertips ❤️
Wow, Joy, you’re list of everything going on is truly truly A LOT. It reminds me of a little list I wrote in my notebook the other day- all of the significant/life changing events I’ve experienced in the last two years. There were seventeen! From attending my grandfather’s funeral one day to celebrating Noah’s baby shower the very next, I feel I’m not alone in living between the extremes of human experience. It takes a toll and also deserves sacred space to take it all in and...breathe.
I’m so glad you are giving yourself permission to rest out loud and I hope that nourishing ourselves publicly will help others do the same! This was so heartwarming to read and my sacred rest quiz had similar results- there’s only one area of my life I’m getting enough rest.
Keeping you in my heart and thoughts as you navigate all of these big life changes. Remember to give yourself grace and compassion because anyone who is part of your community will certainly be doing that too! Carry on, beautiful soul. Gently, gently. 💗
Thank you for what you shared Jillian. Authentic, real and true! During pen play, I felt something was going on. Nothing I could fully pinpoint, but I did feel death was somehow apart of it. I came close to asking you about it, but decided not too. As Aleesha has said, I repeat, take care and be gentle with yourself, so important. For me, life moves in curious and unpredictable ways at times that draws me from what where I feel I was heading. Sometimes I need to stop and be still and let myself catch up, to integrate. Love to you!
I remember a preacher describing life as like popping popcorn in the microwave, first there is a random pop here then a random pop there then before you know it, all breathtaking out of control chaos breaks loose.
I'd like to offer you a HUGE, HUGE hug too. Sounds like you have so much on your plate and slowly down sounds like a perfect solution. I like your plan moving forward. While your daily prompts were wonderful and inspiring it was a little too fast paced for me sadly and I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted. Once a week is more my speed. I'll look forward to reading all you write. You are a treasure. Sending love and hugs your way for you and your dear pet.
