end of summer

Returned to the studio yesterday after ensuring my daughter went back to school no longer so anxiously. Year 4. Just like that!

I am glad that I made an intentional decision before this summer to take time out from social media and the studio as much as possible. So that I could create the time and space to amend the rapture that was caused since my breakdown three years ago. We both have been impacted by it and as a family so much that needed to adjust in the ups and downs of my mental health.

Learning to accept the bitter history as a part of me to be a whole, and obviously it is not just over the summer hiatus, but practice has made my heart at much lighter place now and hopefully hers too.

I haven’t written much on healing journey for a while because I no longer wanted to just vent right in the midst of the heaviness that couldn’t shift early this year, but the shift has been slowly present. Maybe one day the words will come.

For now (and forever), “table of joy” continues to be expressions of my life.
