hello march 🌱
wowza, i knew february was a short month but this one came and went faster than any february i’ve known in years past. i turned 35, and it feels like every molecule i am made of shifted. this month has been less about external achievement and more about internal alignment. i have felt myself stepping more fully into the life i am actually meant to live; there has been a deepening.
through my studies in end-of-life care, through volunteering, through tending to community spaces where i truly feel my value, i’ve felt a quiet confirmation: i am here to serve in ways that are intimate, grounded, and human. i feel my roots sinking deeper and deeper in to the community and in to the land, i feel excited and ready for what’s to come when spring arrives in a few short weeks.
i am noticing that the more i choose presence over performance, the more at home i feel in myself. the more i trust my intuition, the steadier i become. i don’t feel rushed, i feel rooted. there has been a soft shedding of old timelines, old identities, old ambitions that once felt important but no longer fit the shape of who i am becoming. it hasn’t felt dramatic; it has felt deliberate. like a winter pruning, making space for something more honest to grow.
i should also note that i am 5 weeks into my 8 week mbsr meditation practice; 10 minutes a day, sometimes it’s great, sometimes all i can think about is how badly i need to vacuum. it’s the best 10 minutes of my day and i am so proud of myself for beginning and sticking with this journey. i can’t recommend it enough. if you read to here, leave an emoji or something. sending you all love for the next month ahead 🫶🏼
