This has been a trying summer…I won’t lie.
If I pull back the curtain…
One parent on one side has Alzheimer’s and the disease is accelerating at a more rapid pace. We have hired help during the day – and not a moment too soon. #somuchgratitude
We have found a bed in memory care. The move should happen as soon as the paperwork is all in order. [oh blessed Jesus god father mother gaia goddess WHOEVER thank you]
On the other side, one parent fell and broke her femur. She’s a rockstar healer, has the highest pain threshold of anyone I’ve ever met, and is doing GREAT… and supporting parents take extra time, energy, and attention.
Plus, menopause and that fun that goes along with it.
Business-wise…it’s spectacular. I have the BEST clients. Only a dozen of them. They are making bold, aligned moves personally and professionally and I’m hearing WINS weekly. Especially this past Friday one of my long-time clients won BIG. It’s their news to share, but DAMN I am PROUD and celebrating all the steps that got them there!
I love my boutique coaching practice. A dozen clients who send me a few referrals so the cycle continues.
I still wrestle hard with wanting the freedom to travel, the nurturance of having a piece of land to farm or the deep desire to strap on a backpack and take a year-long walk. I’ll figure out how to have all three…probably just not at the same time. There are hundreds (thousands?) of miles to be hiked, dozens of rivers to be kayaked, and many nights to be sleeping out under the starry skies.
And then there’s writing…oh how I have ignored this. There’s a book that is wanting to be written – a novel! What?!?! I have scribbled notes, gathered ideas and names, and now the prompts are coming often and from some unlikely places. It’s delightful!
With the changes I mentioned above, I can feel that my creativity, ability to travel, and freedom about to come roaring (or at least trotting) back into my life. I’m ready for it…after a loooooong nap.
Warmly,
Angie
