Before I even saw you’d sent an update, I was thinking about you this morning. I was thinking about how your work was my first introduction to body positivity, and how that quite literally changed my life. I know I’m not the only one who you did that for, and while I read other books and followed other people and learned from them too, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the work you do. These days it’s the body positivity, yes, but also the mental health stuff too. You continue to give me the most timely reminders, and I am so thankful for it. I feel lucky to be on this planet at the same time as you. I’m so happy to see this update, and that the light is slowly coming back for you. Sending lots of love and gratitude ❤️
loved hearing how you are doing ♥️ Your poem really struck a chord with me and reinforced some of the ideas I was talking about with my therapist just yesterday. So important to heal and honor our inner child while also showing her that we don’t have to hold onto all the things she believes just because we were conditioned to. love the thoughts of you dancing and spa-ing and celebrating a lovely 30 years of life.
i had felt disconnected for myself for six weeks or so over the holidays and coming back to university. going back to therapy and to the Buddhist sangha here has been wonderful. I feel extremely grateful for the love and friendships in my life. hope you continue to get better xx
Megan, thank you for your words. We’re all special and unique and at the same time we’re all the same. Being brave enough to be honest to ourselves and to those who are important to us( maybe that’s everyone? 🤷♀️?) is what truly connects us and when we’re all connected, wow, that power of true UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is mind blowing and sooooo transformative 😘💕🌺
Thank you so much. Thank you for sharing when you are low and sharing when you feel better. I was so low the last two weeks, hormones and people judging my life choices and I was crying so much and now I am also reconnecting with life and climbing back out of the dark patch and yes… looking up at the beautiful sky. And… go you! Having a partner that is actually supportive and not just embedded in their own problems and neglecting you. X
Oh how I already taped up that poem and highlighted the lines that struck me extra! Thank you for sharing yourself and your gifts with the world. Mine is brighter thanks to you!
Gosh the winter really is brutal, isn't it? I can't stop thinking about the sounds of animals and the feeling of hot sun on my skin, especially when I'm having a hard time. The hibernation will end soon. I really FELT your last update as I went through a bit of a similar period in 2021 just surrounding climate change and the powerlessness I felt surrounding it (therapist thinks COVID probably was involved in this as well and I can't say I disagree). A commitment to actually FEELING my feelings instead of just overintellectualizing everything was the change for me. Easier said than done to say the least. I'm sending so much incredible love your way. Your smile lights up the room and I'm proud of you for letting those around you hold you up and support you.
Thank you for continuing to share the realness. It is ALWAYS appreciated. Also that poem was lovely. And as a foodie, those meals look AMAZING. Please feel free to share the recipes 🤣
I absolutely LOVE your poem - it is so good, I’m so impressed because I cannot write poetry and it made me happy because just the other day I was thinking I’d like to find a new poem but it’s hard to find the ones you’ll like. Thank you for this month's update! As always it is so lovely to read. It feels really special 🥰. And Happy Birthday!!
I was sooooo excited for this updated; I'm usually a bit taken aback by how fast the month ahs come by when I get an email from you, but this month I was so ready for it!
Your poem spoke to me in so many ways, it is so beautiful. It's so lovely to see all your dancing, cooking, birthdaying and spa-ing. Happy happy birthday<3
Thank you for bringing a bit of sunshine to the grey months - as you articulated, it really is hard. I'm holding out for the sunny daffodil days now too and hoping for a bit of lightness. I'm proud of myself as I've booked myself in for a bit more therapy but have also got through a lot of weeks without it which feels like a win!
This was the most beautiful mail to receive. I'm glad you are feeling lighter and more connected, and thank you for sharing your words, I connected with this so much and I will come back to your words many times, I know <3 Sending love through winds to you!
