Finding Our Way Back to Self
When life gets chaotic and things change rapidly, it can leave our heads spinning and our hearts reeling.
Last weekend, I spent two nights at a sweet little cabin in the foothills, all by myself.
My entire mind, body, and soul had been craving it for some time, and it felt like a great way to intentionally transition from 2023 into the New Year.
After the last year of health issues and massive life changes (from my cats dying to meeting my love to moving into our tiny camper home and changing so much about the business I’ve had for 15 years), I’ve been feeling so far away from myself.
It’s unsurprising, really.
When life gets chaotic and things change rapidly, it can leave our heads spinning and our hearts reeling, even if some (or all) of those changes are positive and desired.
Last year gave me so many things I wanted while rocking my whole being off-center.
It’s been an unexpected whirlwind that found me clawing my way, slowly and with tremendous bone-deep exhaustion, towards what feels like several “finish lines”: my hysterectomy, the holiday break, and bidding farewell to 2023 right as I’m at the point to hopefully be cleared for regular life again by my surgeon.
