If it helps you - I have thought so much about your writing and your newsletters while you were away. I can't point it, but there is certainly a beautiful connection I have found with you and your words since the day I discovered you here on Substack.
To see life happening to you with all its ups and downs, it's amazing isn't it? Not everything has to make sense always and I too am learning to be okay with this thought.
Thank you for letting me know that Mansi -- it really does make a difference in my confidence to write to know my writing stays with you. I resonate with your writing as well and it has helped me even in my silence on here!
Happy belated birthday!! Disney at Disney for 31 is epic. January kicked my butt. You’re words soothed. Interestingly your bday was when my inner sun started shining again too. I’m so happy that you are smiling again. Looking forward to your creative sharings. The video/letter was beautiful. Welcome back to self and to the stack. ✨
Thank you Sage! January whooped me too haha. And Disneyland was the medicine I didn’t know I needed. I had such a ball. Sending you love and more soothing
You have been missed...WELCOME BACK + Happy belated! Thank you for your vulnerability here {as always} + for sharing your ups + downs + all of the in-between. To answer your question about {what I hope my next age will bring when my birthday comes around}... In a few months, I turn 50! I am so excited because getting here has been an all-out brawl! I believe that my entire being will continue thriving + flourishing into fullness + wholeness...all the things that needed to be addressed, the roots that needed to be pulled out, the pruning that needed to be tended to, the forgiveness of myself and others, + anything that harshly scratches me, inside + out, will be resolved. As I celebrate the arrival of my 50th birthday, I will continue to make room for my Phoenix to rise + my Lotus flower to blossom beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you for asking this question, as it has helped me put my thoughts into words...
Hmm {when your birthday comes around, what are you hoping this next age brings to you?}, this is a wonderful question. The year started with reflection, per usual, of where I am currently, what I’m feeling and needing. In this season of my life, I’m finally choosing ME on purpose. On April 18th I will be turning 51 and I’m walking into it slowly and more present. Tuning into all that is me. Giving myself the love and grace I so deserve. Taking care of me on purpose and unapologetically. It’s time. It’s needed. SO desperately needed!!
So beautiful! Happy belated birthday! Your note resonated with me so much coming out of a similar season that seemed to last the entirety of the pandemic, only recently finding relief and transformation. I REALLY love the part about having a knowing that isn't yet revealed to you and I'm hoping that in its right timing we both receive our revelations.
Thank you so much Ashleigh! This season has been brutal to a lot of us. I’m glad you have found relief too. I really feel kind of brand new. Trying to just sit in it because it hasn’t felt this good in a long time lol
So happy to have you back Disney!

I love this. We can be so hard on ourselves, it’s important we prioritize pouring back into us!
