Sometimes you need to just go ahead and be the most imperfect version of yourself.
Take off all the hats you’re wearing (the mom hat, the wife hat, the sister hat, the freelancer hat, the good neighbor hat, the friend hat...) so you can wear just one (the daughter, in my case), or none at all. ******************************
Today my thoughts are populated by sullen, bare Minnesota trees.
Tomorrow is another day.
Today my soup project comes officially to an end, with the publication of one last blog post with scans of the illustrated accounts of February gatherings. (link in bio). One of my goals with this project was to turn my kitchen into a safe and welcoming space for quiet, unstructured discussion, discovery and connection.
After 8 gatherings, I can say that making together is definitely a wonderful way to open up and connect for introverts, ambiverts and extroverts.
However, now that we all have to keep our distances for a while, know that MAKING, even by yourself, is a powerful way to cope with feelings of being overwhelmed, disempowered or depressed. So, use your hands, friends!!
