I appreciate the inner “homemaking” you bring to a substack and website that’s also focused on regular home design. It feels like the two are often treated separately when, of course, they’re so intertwined in all of our lives. So thank you 🙏
Well. I just learned about the Throne of Glass series, Sarah Vanrenen (where have I been?) and Merit lipsticks. Thank you maam.
It was fascinating to read about your sort of "outerbody" experiences. I had something like those after the loss of my son. Unimportant things fall away.
And the prolonged pain thing - especially paired with loss of sleep - also makes you concentrate on only the most important things. You begin to think about the millions that struggle with chronic pain, and then your issues seem smaller and your gratitude grows.
I had a similar last 6 months, with one thing after another coupled with pain and PT. No fun. I thought I was coming out of it, and then my wallet was stolen in the grocery store yesterday. 😵💫
This: "What are you actually feeling and have you given yourself space to feel it?" My mind is always on the driver seat and rarely do I give my feelings the space. This is a great reminder for myself. 😅🫠 But I'm hoping you're feeling relief from the back pain. 💛
Kate, I think we are on a similar life journey as I woke up with my back also giving out plus all the other awareness things. Thank you for sharing the journey that you’re on. - from Kate on the same journey
Your experience with "awareness" was really important! I hope that you experience more of it. It's a game changer. A friend and mindfulness teacher of mine always says, "Awareness wins!" Wishing you all the best.

You are reading my mind! I’m quietly exploring this and it’s nice to know you are seeing the connections too.

Day by day - that's all we can do.
Day by day, step by step. Brings be a lot of peace during this season.
