End of February, under inches of ice, fell while shoveling and then came down with covid, it has not been my favorite week, but there is something beautiful about seeing myself willing to rest and relax and let down expectations and disappoint others with more ease than ever before in my life! I credit the RRP and the fact that I get to think and talk about the value of taking care of ourselves all day! So any people worry that if they take the time to actually respond to their needs, they'll never "get anything done" again. I think this one fear has kept more people in the system than any other. What/who would we be without the "getting things done" aspect of self? The winter always makes me fall in love with trees because they just stop doing everything for months on end and then spring comes and they churn out leaves in such a frenzy that they go from barren to lush in just a few weeks time. Why can they trust themselves to be dormant and then to respond to the call of spring, and how do they trust themselves to let go of all that hard work every fall? It's extraordinary to me! Anyhow, whether you're snowed in like me or experiencing some other kind of winter, sending you some deep tree love, some faith filled warmth and gentleness and the promise that spring always does come, with all it's bustling energy! xo, z
