When I read ‘Living with the experience of you, as you are, without need to be anything else.’, my shoulders dropped. I’m in.

This week I’ve been sick (incl. emergency root canal) so had to let myself and other people down. I’m experimenting with forgiving myself for not being everything to everyone (especially me). It’s been hard!

What a nasty surprise for you Beth, I'm so sorry.

I'm experimenting with the idea of a ferris wheel of responsibility, where I happily let others take the ride for me when I need to hop off. It's a learning curve for sure, but I find it's getting easier for me to notice when I need backup, and asking for it rather than tipping into overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, anger...

(This is also code for "text me if you need a soup delivery!")
