what can we doš
from where we are at
Hey friends!Ā
How is it going? How ya feeling? My capacity for all things has shifted. Some days I have nothing in me, and other days I have time, attention, and even patience (maybe). But what I find interesting in this is that truly my capacity for all things feels so dramatically different. My capacity for social niceties and the things i really do not care about feel low, I don't want to talk about the weather. But my capacity for activism feels high, I have more in me to give to the things I care about (ie not the weather). My caring too-much-ness is on high alert these days. Noticing and leaning intoĀ what my rhythm is, feels magical + frustrating.
This balance between giving what I actually have to the things I want to to be allowed me to finish an illustration deadline, update some website work and then felt inspired enough to write this email. I talk so fucking much about finding intuition and I am so terrible at it. I think my obsession with self-care and creative process is because I am actually quite terrible at it and the things that I think maintain meĀ
Also I feel like I have written this email before, which means I am probably on the right track.Ā
As we make the slow crawl and yearn for āback to normalā we have to think what our new normal will feel like?Ā I'm not saying walk around and be a total dick to your neighbors that comment on how cold it is for May. More like, what can you actually give to that conversation?Ā What is your capacity for things that actually matter? What seeds are you sowing? What weeds are you tending to? What plants are you watering?Ā
This Thursday at 1:30 I am chatting with my pal Michelle Cordeiro on Intuition. Michelle is an Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Holistic Nutritionist, and Mindful Movement Instructor who blends these three parallel modalities into her work. She aims to empower her students and clients to regain trust in their ability to make decisions when it comes to food, movement and their bodies.
Mich and I will be chatting about intuition in all its forms, How to access it? Where does it come from? Who has it (the answer is YOU!). Join us live, jump in and ask some qs or watch the replay later. I am truly excited for this one. Michelle is one of the smartest people I know!Ā
I love you, I hope you are keeping well in whatever way well means to you
