Grace, thanks for sharing this. I've heard of Flow State but have not got a chance to take a read. Your description here is useful. As is the narrative on: Csikszentmihalyi's concept on energy between anxiety and boredom. I wonder if this is applicable in most areas (not just specific parts) of life too?

This article just gave my brain the dose of chill I needed. Like medicine for the soul. So beautiful. And I love reading about animal guides. I can’t wait to read more from you. So glad I found this. Or did it find me?

When we first found our new house, I would see blue birds fly across the road most days when I was headed out there. I had to research it. Turns out they symbolize hope, harmony and renewal. Just the change we were looking for.

Beautiful writing. I’m so proud of you for being so present, accepting, and willing to change. Not many people have your awareness and gratitude, and especially so when facing challenging times. With hard change, comes great and beautiful things. ❤️

"Everything is changing. It takes time to adjust. " I love this line. And how much time is just what it is.

And the honest unknowing like you shared at the end, that really lands. We didn't know when we were married either, but I thought I did. So much wiser for the falling apart and the recrafting a life.

Thank u for sharing with your whole heart ❤️
