Update: just so you know
I just need to let everyone know this week/ month I may be a bit hot and miss at the cottage! Trips to the city - hours away for oncology appointments and eastern states visitors in between. I am stretched but will do my best to be here! Life happens 🥴 On another note I also want encourage anyone who wants to build their own community to check out ‘Panda’ I’ve joined simply to help me manage The Little Cottage! Just jump over and have a look 👀 you’ll know after watching if it’s for you. https://www.skool.com/303-6342/about?ref=9d51d0173158417fa21c5f2b2e8d2c72

What to Do When Your Nervous System Says “Do Not Launch This”
When visibility feels dangerous, forcing yourself harder usually makes it worse. Reset the body first so you’re not letting panic run the launch. What physical signs show up in your body when it’s time to be visible with your offer?

@Lydia Cox Yes, that sounds right. I think it's the same for Olive trees. We had one but it never did fruit

@Lydia Cox Funny story. I did not like olives, until I tried them on my 35th birthday. A lunch at a winery with my mum, the warm olives arrived, I tried one and was hooked. Must have just been the right type at the right time. Now I love a good olive. And a bit of a fuss pot with them actually.
Good morning or is it may be evening where you are.
Lots is going on at the cottage this week, and I haven't much time - life has thrown a little curve ball, changes are afoot, but for now, here's a little glimpse into life at the cottage! More about the curveball later!

The "Messy" Beauty of Cottage Life 🌿
Hi everyone, I’ve been reflecting lately on what it means to live a truly "creative" life. Sometimes we think it’s about the finished product, but lately, for me, it’s about the moments in between. (Just as well because I'm not getting a lot of 'finishing' done these days!) Watching my ducks and my goose, Baby, splash in the pond and run to meet me (even if they leave a mess behind!) is something that is filling my tank right now. I love the mornings spent in quiet reflection, even when that silence is joyfully interrupted by my grandkids. 😅 It’s reminded me that we don't need a "perfect" setup to be happy. My cottage is tiny, and I’m still waiting on a kitchen, wondering if I'll ever have one, but it’s taught me that the simple things—and the people we love—are what truly feed the soul. I’d love to know: What is one "simple thing" in your home or workspace today that is bringing you joy? 🕊️

@Michelle Lesesne-De Santis Oooo LOOOOVE!! We want to do something like that in our bedroom. There is a similar unit at Ikea but it's not fully customisable and we have a low bulkhead. So pretty. Well done

@Michelle Lesesne-De Santis I would adore it too. It's stunning. Here is my updated wall. Still a few things to happen.
