What a beautiful mediation this morning as I sit here outside in this delicious weather in our northern California mountain home of 32 years enjoying some quiet time before a day of sorting packing and tossing. Moves bring up all sorts of old ways of doing things.
This quote is working in my life in real time “How do you let go of attachments to things?
Don’t even try. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them."
—Eckhart Tolle
My husband and I have been talking lately about old things that we held on to that once were what we identified with. It’s been a huge letting go. Freedom is our goal is what he often tells me as we wonder if we should hold on to something. We aren’t a museum I say. We are a good team. We know who we are now and we don’t need to remind ourselves or others who we once were. We want to be spacious for new ideas. Your work here compliments my life so well in this season and that’s why I love reading your work.
Haha, love the “we aren’t a museum.” Thank you for your kind words, Ruth. So glad this work compliments your life so well, and how wonderful that you have a partner joining you on this journey, where you can help each other steady the boat when needed. 🙌🏼

Yes, steady the boat indeed. Lots of that happening. Thank god.
