It’s very soothing to walk in the liminal space knowing I’m not alone. Your brave, wise & beautiful words are speaking to my soul. I love your list of things that help, I’d add pick or buy flowers for yourself every week and sit in a garden watching all the small signs of life, birds, plants & insects. Thank you.

Ellie- This is very great observation about all the liminal spaces that most people don’t bother paying attention to. I love this part when you said: “It’s hard to sit with and not try to fix it immediately. I’m learning that it’s ok to let it linger and to see what it might be trying to tell me. Allow yourself to feel a little lost.” Definitely one the hardest things to do in the age of speed. I appreciate this reminder. Hope you’re well this week? Cheers, -Thalia

It’s so hard isn’t it to stay with the feeling/situation when it’s uncomfortable. Thanks so much for your encouragement 💫Yes going well this week. Hope you are too. Lovely to connect with you & read some of your posts too.

Fantastically brave! I love that you’re writing from the middle of it and not afterwards when it’s all neatly packaged up. Also fully concur about total joy of daily croissants in the midst of a lost spell. Been there, done that, got the croissant tattoo to prove it

Thank you so much Ellie for sharing so honestly - it’s brave and refreshing, and so needed in a world that tends to focus on celebrating the outcome more than the process. So I’m celebrating the process with you, and very tempted to take your advice and buy myself something new..or “a few new things”. Do croissants count!? 😉
