Interconnectedness

Hello! I got my nervous system way out of whack this week. It’s easy to do with everything going on, and if you’re feeling it too, you’re not alone.

A friend reminded me that it’s January in Maine. Slowing down to rest, plan, and process is necessary. We need to sink into the season so we can emerge with strength and clarity. The chaos wants us dysregulated so I will do my best to come back to myself so I can help as needed.

And, I finally made a collage because art always brings me back to my body. While making it, I reflected on our interconnectedness and how nurturing ourselves and each other is essential.

Here’s what else has helped me stay grounded (aka, a sh#t ton of podcasts!):

✨ Vibe Check – Astrology 101 & 2025 forecast w/ Chani Nicholas. The hosts are hilarious. (And if you need a Portland based astrologer to follow, check out @reginaverretfoster!)

✨ Creative Pep Talk – Creating Wonder Rituals w/ Katherine May, episode 480

✨ Hey, Girl podcast with Alex Elle– Grief is Love w/ Marisa Renee Lee (older one from 4/17/22)

✨And here’s one I plan to listen to later: For the Wild Earthly book review with adrienne maree brown about Loving Corrections

✨ Making soups 🍲 all soups from Minimalist Baker + Ina Garten’s minestrone = comfort

✨ Big cups of tea – If you’re in Portland, Maine, check out Botanically Curious!

Take good care of yourself and your people!
