I enjoyed this essay collection and loved the parts where I felt the author went deep into what it means to start over and give oneself grace and space. In some ways, I felt like maybe she hadn’t spent enough time in this new life yet to really dig deep enough to pull out all of her learnings/lessons. Like it was still all a bit too new. So it still felt a bit more on the surface than I would have liked. Still enjoyed them.
This months intention is: Practice Joy: Breathe in the fresh air. Summer is here. Smell the water. Go outside. Sit in the sunshine. One more school year is over. Celebrate your life.
I have all of June off so this is a perfect prompt for June. Practicing Joy and presence and sitting in the sunshine is all I want to do this month.
Here are some goals for June:
continue to draw, sketch, paint or do some artistic endeavor as often as I can
try to eat a salad every day now that there’s so much fresh food
do most of of HCOTF
support the kids with all of the end of year activities
Read a lot
Support J
take another class
continue medication
help D and N with their summer journeys
journal
Continue documenting the joy
Love my people
Scrap and OLW
Go outdoors, sit outside, be in the sunshine
dive deeper into ease, release, equanimity, space, possibility and see what you might want to do for each. ( still haven’t done this )
maybe figure out linode stuff for email.
work on a daily practice of giving yourself grace
Be ok with not getting much done, rest.
be in the present moment, don’t count down the days
This is my list for now.
June, I got this. Let’s do this. Let it be full of joy.
