turning inward

September 19, 2013

yesterday, the enormity of the change i just made and the speed at which i made it sunk in. i feel wordless, and slightly off-center, and am having trouble connecting to my intuition.

so, i am going to be quiet for a while, as i turn to the things that always bring me back home: time in the woods and by the water, playtime with my camera, meditation, writing in my journal, naps with my beloved pup, and the simple pleasures of good conversation, good books, and good food. (particularly pie. there is a blueberry pie and a strawberry pie in the frig and i could not be happier.)

because i want to reconnect with my deep sense of hope & possibility & wonder, i am going to do a version of hope floats every day on the blog through the end of september. if it calls to you, you can sign up through the end of september.

there will be no time to miss atlas, as he will continue to share photos and stories on his facebook page.

today, i leave you with this thought:

allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to receive, whether it be support or love or generosity, can be a powerful and beautiful opportunity for inner growth.

may you know that you are supported and held.

  1. yes we all have times when we are especially in need of “turning inward” – I wish for you that it’s a sweet, soft time of acclimation and healing…..xoxo

  2. the most favoritist season for turning inward…
    there is nothing like autumn. and yet somehow it always feels like a fresh start too. maybe the beginning of the school year always? and that stays inside us? i don’t know.
    but blessings to you in this lovely quiet time.
    i’m glad atlas has his own facebook page.
    i just LOVE IT! xoxo

      I always wonder if the fresh start thing is because of the school year too. There are so many years of school, I imagine it’s hard to shake.

  3. Holding you in thought and light, Elizabeth. :o) You’ve had a LOT happening just now, Elizabeth… take the time you need to find yourself in your new place and new chapter in life. Be kind to yourself and savors the sweet joys. I’m on sabbatical myself just nows… so I know what you mean. ((LOVE & HUGS))
