Hmmm... that happens. Glad you are not pretending.

You know that this will land with me, given our similarish travels and enjoying freedom. I give thanks every day to have a home again, but loved my open-hearted wandering season

Yes Emily! We are kindred spirits. I’m finding that both rooted and untethered can both live in my heart.

This is me today! I have tried the carnivore diet with purchasing many group programs and after 7 months I continue to gain weight. Today I am done, I went out and purchased fruit and vegetables! It feels good to be free again, to start fresh. Your words are true: sometimes it feels good to change but changing again does not mean failure, it means growth! Thank you!!!

Stuck knowing the end is nearing , albeit slowly. Witnessing the progressive, often subtle changes in husband due to dementia. Working full time to reach a goal of second retirement and more insurance for medical expenses. I need to fell productive, useful, contributing. Prolonged, dullness. With sprinkles of joy from grandchildren & extended family.

You are on quite a rich journey Michele. Listening. Letting go. Leaning in. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

This really speaks to me. Sometimes the hardest part isn’t quitting—it’s admitting you’re ready to.

Well said. Admitting is the often the hardest thing to do. And it usually comes at the very end of an exhale.

I do recognise this! In my last work, I was astonished to discover suddenly one day that I didn’t want to do it anymore. I’d set the company up so I could be there for at least another ten years. But my time for departing came sooner than I thought. So once I’d acknowledged that, it was just a question of working out the letting go process. And then feeling the relief!

Yes Jane. It happened just like that for me too. What once felt like a magnet drawing me towards became the exact opposite. Grateful that these days I am sensitive enough to notice these things.

Me too! It’s all in the fine tuning of sensitivities

Tell me more Michele! Are you saying you are sensitive to what is ending?
