Growth 🌿 or hibernation

Jul 31, 2023

Growth 🌱 or hibernation 🖤 There are times when we may feel energized, open to change, excited for the unknown, ready to be out and about, vulnerable, and exposed to anything new coming our way. Or there are times when we want to cover up, hide from change, from growth, and from newness. We seek comfort, familiarity and stability. Times that feel seasonal. Like moon phases. Waxing and 🌖 waning. Ive learnt to embrace the word SURRENDER, and everything it means. To trust and lean into it, instead of fight it or force it (as is/was my default). Seasons are there for a reason. You may be ‘hibernating’ after a particularly rough patch, or hibernating because you need to fuel up before something new and amazing happens. 🌱 Or you may be growing, blooming and energized, after a season of hibernation. Each has its place. The beauty is to recognize them, surrender to them and then harvest the gifts each season brings! Growth. Hibernation. Mourning. Joy. ⛮ energy. Bliss. Phases and seasons. Recognize yours and embrace it and its gifts.

Garden gifts

GARDEN GIFTS It tickles me to walk into a garden, pick my lunch, rinse the dirt off, and gobble it up. It tickles me to watch my kids walk into a garden to pick medicine for a cut, or a cough, or make a poultice for a wounded animal. Garden gifts....

On turning 40 (3rd October 2022)

On turning 40.. Growing up, 40 seemed so far away. It was a number that was spoken of with such mixed emotion. Either you were ancient when you got to 40 & life as you knew it ended, or life only started at 40, & you became all you were meant to be all...
