I hope this email finds you safe and well: restored, restoring or looking forward to restoration. Or, like me, pausing and slowing down while others are away. Yes, I will sneak out for a mini-holiday (a longer weekend away at a local seaside location, really), and I am taking two weeks off from counselling work. Rest is a mandatory requirement in this line of work. Although, to be honest, I sometimes think we need to re-think the idea of pausing for one month and working under a lot of pressure for the rest of the year. I write about this a lot. Let’s roll out a four-day working week instead and learn to work effectively and softly so that the stress doesn’t build up in the first place. What if it’s possible?
Good morning, I hope this finds you well. I am writing this sitting at a bedroom window, listening to the wind and soft rain in Three Sisters, the tall trees we are blessed with here. It’s a wet and warm weekend in Bristol. I am super excited about a friend visiting us today from Switzerland, so I am also fidgety, just like Nature today. Movement is good, though, and it’s nice to use Nature for metaphors that help self-reflection and morning emotional check-in with ourselves.
How are you doing? I am sitting softly in July, carefully balancing the systemic need to slow down for summer (a privilege for many, but not all and usually not for me), and the business needs to move forward with new ideas.
Good morning. I hope this finds you safe and well. It’s been a busy time for me, so I am entering the weekend with the intention of slowing down. In Wales, you see “Araf” written on the roads to remind you about the speed limitations (or opportunities). My body screams against any speed faster than 60 km/h, so I love the sign on my way to and from counselling work – 5 miles per hour! Every time I enter this alley, I bow to the trees and thank them for watching over me. I bow them goodbye, too.
Good morning. I hope this lands softly in your inbox today. On this Glastonbury weekend here in the UK, I am waking up to the sound of wind in my backyard trees and the still refreshing, gentle air of summer.
I had a long, reorientating week. This year, somehow, each week feels like a century of small steps and wonderful people who carry my work and my life forward. So, landing into the weekend with Nature in mind is so restorative.
Good morning. I hope your weekend is soft. The last two weeks were busy with work and allotment, so this space was quiet. I return home each day with crops from the allotment in two minds about the amount of sun we are getting at the moment. On the one hand, vegetables and berries, not to mention roses, adore this amount of sunshine. On the other hand, the weather feels steadily hot and dry. Evening allotment watering is a healthy workout, of course, but also a sign of how our climate is shifting.
Good morning. I hope this weekend starts softly for you. Here, in Bristol, it’s sunny…so sunny I cannot get enough of it. We had a long, dark and cold autumn, winter and spring, so those few days of sunshine cheer me up. And everything is in boom!
