Love this message and love you! Amy Wheeler probably has seen this, but in case she hasn't, I sent the link to this newsletter to her. So nice that you gave her a shout out. I'm dealing with nerve pain and that means more rest and regrouping for me too. Big Congrats to you on finishing the big D in the midst of it all.

thanks joanne! I've been mostly sitting on my butt letting my ankle heal post break and then surgery almost 6 weeks ago. I'm hearing the Keep Moving part of this post, and I'm going to check out the yoga video-- need ways to move while I'm still somewhat immobile! congrats on getting your dissertation done!

Congratulations on submitting your dissertation!!

I have heard my body saying enough already for a long while now. I am finally ready to listen. It’s only been a few weeks of letting go, but I am learning- 10 hours of sleep is necessary? At this time, it is. Only schedule one task (one!) each day. Yikes.

I don’t like it, (who does) but already I am feeling calmer. The fatigue will leave when it leaves. Patient trust in the slow work of God. Deep breathing, Gratitude for what is here already.

We live into the suscipe one day at a time. Hugs
