Good for you, Katherine. May your January be full of surprise blessings. Your heart will surely be wide open to them. I think of you often on your island. Love to you and your muse.
Thanks, Marge. You hit the nail on the head. A chosen solitude works differently than one which feels brought on by forces outside of us. I find that I'm constantly working with a chosen inner life, regardless of outside forces. Sometimes I'm good at it. Other times, I'm not. Such is this thing called being human. Thanks for reading! May you find sacred solitude today.
Taking care of yourself in whatever form you need is one of our highest callings. Thank you for being brave enough to share your vulnerability. Solitude is not overrated.
Love your writing as always Laura. Thank you for your continuing sharing of vulnerability. I am one regularly grateful to you for helping me realize I am not alone.
I live by myself on a small island in the Salish Sea and tend a tiny homestead. I SO cherish my sacred solitude and decided on a deep dive into it for the month of January. Thanks for sharing your process.
Wow Laura how very brave of you. Although I have been hidden away more than usual lately not with the devoted intention you had but unwillingness to reach into the world. Reading about your purposeful hibernation gave me a level of anxiety . I find myself missing my mother lately which is where I found some comfort. Losing her is haunting . You are a brave one!!!

Thanks for reading, Gail. I’m not sure if I’m brave. But esp when we’re in grief, I have found that it’s helpful to take stock. 🧡 to you.
Thank you, Stephanie. May we all be an open book...unless it, of course, compromises our well-being. That comes first.

That was really great. One could see it as depression but you really made it about recharge. I love it. and it sounds like you stayed present with it.
