February T H A W β¨π
This new moon has been challenging me, but in the nicest way possible -- instead of inundating me with stuff I can't handle, it's been asking me to stop griping about situations I can control, and instead step up to the plate; setting boundaries I didn't know to set in months and years prior.
The faintest trace of a February thaw has always brought big emotions for me. Everything I've tried to hold in all winter comes crashing down around me, stories I've been telling myself in order to cope no longer helpful.
This year though, I feel blessed to have help. My wonderful parents , my incredible partner and her kid (who lights me up completely) and Willow, the cat.
I'm trying to accept the things I can't change (like wow...I have a disability. Crazy.), change the things I can (this round of revisions will be an extra charge) and make sure the people I love know that I love them.
I wouldn't be here without you.
Sending wind energy to our family's beloved Kiki, matriarch extraordinaire who left us on the winter solstice. I remember showing her a drawing at 13, and she was impressed. "You should do this for real! Go to art school!"
I hadn't considered it until then.
Ki ki! So so!
