Wow! Was this the day you then jumped into our co-writing session? Thank you for making me feel seen lol! I never seem to pack for anything until the last minute and end up forgetting something. I'm now super stressed about the two night stay at a Great Wolf lodge this weekend. Or not. Maybe I'll pack early (HA). I also relate to the non-reading stretch of time. I just finished the first book I have read in years (and at pre-crisis-mode pace) and I am scared it's a fluke and totally get wanting to cling to that win. The kids are always right.

I have yet to attempt The Artist's Way because of how intimidated I am by the thought of morning pages. But my stomach actually clenched at the idea of no reading for a week. Reading is like air for my brain. I don't know that Julia and I can ever be friends.

I love the honest description of suddenly unraveling! It has happened to me and I so appreciate your honesty and vulnerability… I look forward to interacting in a kinder way when my octopus appears again. It’s just a matter of circumstances, yes?

love this and relate! and yes, we must liquify, completely humbled and brought to our knees - as I once experienced in such a big way and continue to, as we all do, to have not-so-fun-smaller reminders way too often - in order to rebuild again...then again...then again...yay life!
