Caring and being cared for

A random list o tings

In order to help bring inner balance and respect for my energy and writing, new writing (including RLoT, Witch Sh!t, and most new essays) will be behind a paywall. - “From the vaults” essays will continue being available for everyone for three months (until they are archived) Having a paid subscription not only puts a couple dollars in my bank account to pay my bills, it also encourages me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to continue sharing my work and offers reciprocity for my time and energy to produce this work. If you benefit from these resources and cannot afford the $7 per month subscription fee, please contact me directly and we can work something out.

1. Letting people take care of us when we are so used to being the one taking care of everyone else… it can feel uncomfortable and so we need to practice.

2. No other person can be our “everything”. That’s why we have community.

3. I don’t want anyone to try to be my everything. Showing up authentically as you are, with wounds, flaws, limits, and boundaries, is all I want and need from anyone.

4. “You said it’s me who makes this house a home” - MILCK, I’m In

5. Sometimes we don’t get closure. Living in that liminal space can be so painful.

6. Loss impacts each of us differently. We each grieve in our own ways. Giving space for people grieve in the ways that work for them is a love language.

7. Time and distance can be challenging to navigate.
