I have no idea what to write other than I am 100% on board with everything you wrote. I am on all of those journeys, too. I’m not on the journey of moving children, but you get the rhythm of what I’m trying to portray.
I, just like you, am not the same person I was last year at this time. I’m not the same financially, physically, or mentally. I have regressed and I hate parts of myself for it.
I’m here for you! I truly am and I hope you know that! We have to stick together in our triumphs and struggles. I’m up over 10lbs since I went to Florida. I keep thinking this is a bunch of bs and then I shovel more food in.
LOVE the temperature blanket! Quite jealous of that raw talent no matter how perfectly imperfect in may seem.
Thanks for the update. It is great to hear from you. Writing about the messy process while you're still in the messy process is more than a little challenging. I've found myself not wanting to share much lately either. I'm so glad you decided to share a bit though. You're always encouraging. :)
P.S. I'm really glad we met at that conference. That was one of the highlights, and I'm glad you're back to writing your book. The world needs your story.
It happens to all of us. I also abandoned my Nanowrimo this year. Last week my computer failed. By failed I mean that the RAM failed and the only way to know if any of the files exist is to but a new Mac and try to transfer them. I have no idea what I have backed up. The thing is, I got my laptop in 2011 and my life has been a constant struggle since 2012. Part of me wants to let all of it go. Maybe the past really can be over... so I guess that is my long way of saying, "no day but today" or as our friend. Richard used to say, "take what is usefully and throw the rest away." Still, the best advice after all these years.
Richard always had the best advice. I wish I had gotten to Castleton earlier so I could have learned more before he had to leave.
As for the "let all of it go." That is something I've wrestled with regarding my creative writing. When I signed up for the 10-day writing bootcamp in January, I went into knowing if I could not dedicate the time to that, then it was time to walk away from my dreams of a book or at least completing a full draft of one. I would need to let it go with some sadness, but gratitude.
There are a few things that will come to that this year, I believe.
It's not something I want to hide from anymore. So, dig into that. I believe it's the path to our true self.

Lovely to hear from you x
Are you still part of HSM?
