It couldn't have been more timely to read this – I have just been reflecting on my mornings, the little choices I make, and finding the energy to make changes that align with who I am and who my body needs me to be right now as I'm settling into a new country and home.
With that said, I also want to thank you for having been such a wonderful witness and support during the months that led up to those huge changes in my life – I have been thinking of your presence and words many times, and feel like they have been and still are a warm, grounding anchor that carried me through these wild, challenging, yet incredibly beautiful times of change.
Ganga Devi! I had too many thoughts to leave as a comment so I made a post about it. HA! Thank you for sharing, as Klara said, this post couldn't have been more timely.
I resonate so much with the fantasy. With my own two littles, from my tiny Brooklyn apartment, no space for myself, I have had to create more time and space within. Freedom, I find, looks different in different chapters. Thank you for this beautiful piece.
Beautiful read. I quit looking to how others organize their days. I know I work differently. I can't survive routines. I go with what needs to be done. And being tidy requires a lot of physical energy with a young child because they always make clutter everywhere they go. I stopped trying. I prioritize us being happy. It is really difficult without the community.
This was powerful. I was just journaling about how I spend my time and the choices I make, and then I read this. It captures many of the things I worry about...choices, changes, and doing things I am afraid of. I feel affirmed and encouraged by this
I’m so grateful for this; for the reminder to start my days with intention, gratitude and joy (and to forgive myself when I cannot or when I forget). You speak to my condition as we Quakers are known to say. I have been marveling at all the connections I feel with you, what you’ve figuring out, what you are aiming for and how you live. There are so many coincidences( or are they?) From drinking cocoa in the mornings to Glorious, to the name of our substack. A few years back I choose Born Again Into a Living World and then didn’t post anything until about a month ago. Of course there are many ways we are different: I am 73 years old and live in Southeastern PA and I spent the entire year last year recovering from a hermeragic stroke and consequent hydrocephalus! Thank you so much for your stories and how you’re living into them. Blessings.
