This is brilliant and should be done more often. A complete thought cycle. It’s actually quite helpful to me - someone who can’t seem to figure out what to write -ever. I’m a perpetual stuck person. This is inspiring and I shall use it to write! Thank you!
You always have something to write and I really love how you write it - I read you from a few years now, I know you were in your 30s when I began to read your blog ( not sure I was in mine, maybe just before - we are 5 years apart). And your words helped me through all these times ... It’s amazing to follow someone that i don’t know IRL all these years ❤️.
The power of a list, and following your thoughts on the page! Also, <can’t find the quote> just about sums up my latest writing project, and also would make a great Substack name.
The thoughts you have put down on paper are what have run constantly through my head for quite some time now. I have been following for a while - I was surprised to see how long ago the foxes came around, I was here for that, and will continue to be here. When I can’t use your prompts for writing (I’m currently traveling), they are certainly good for thought & help me to parce what I am feeling & maybe don’t yet know how to pit into words.
Love this. Starting exactly where I am is always what I need in order to get somewhere different (or maybe I'm order to hang out where I am for as long as I need to!). Look forward to reading what comes next 🙏🏻
The inside of my head too. Tried to think of something wise. Ha. Failed. Stage, not age. And there are millions who are at a similar stage to you - quite a groundbreaking one, even in 2023. You are their person, should/when you feel able and willing to be. X
Oh my goodness I love this so much -- esp. 8 and 12. 12 made me laugh out loud because I feel like that every day. And thank you even more for being willing to share your thoughts -- especially the thinking/not thinking about anniversaries. It’s such a tender thing. 💜
There is always more healing to do, that’s basically what life is all about I sometimes think! You just turn to the deeper stuff that’s been revealed by the sifting and clearing. I’m on that journey right now, I just turned 60 and this is going to be my decade of healing the deepest layers, I can feel it in my bones. Also, as someone who’s been traveling alongside you for almost 18 (!!) years I think you’ll still have a LOT to say... 🥰❤️
Hmmm there seems to be a theme today. Or at least, that seems to be the message for me when reading your thoughts, a post by a friend on Instagram ("Taking a break today, putting even the drawing challenges to rest"), and my own vibe and needs. ..Written after listening to a healing meditation, in my bed, after slowly awaking:
Today is all about allowing myself to take my time and dwell in my own energy. To rest. Ponder. Daydream. To dive into Kairos time. Repose in my inner world. Feel in the here and now; what do I want, what does my body need? Just be. And allow 'doings' and 'notdoings' to emerge naturally. My own rhythm. From here to eternity. That feeling. Hmmm.

Love this, I especially relate to points 6-8 and 11-12. Thanks for sharing!

That list reminds us all that when we think there's nothing to write about, it probably means we have lots to write about 😅

I love how real and vulnerable this is. You are definitely not alone.😘
Thank you for sharing this! Having a similar-but-different spiral today (and every week, for that matter) and so nice to see I’m not alone.
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing this. I have similar conversations in my head.
I have similar conversations often, yet never thought to record them in any way. Might be worth trying.
