Empty Nest

Today is October 5th. I have been an empty nester since July 15.

We had an awesome roomie from July 18-October 1. He really was perfect in every way. He was quiet, paid his rent on time. And he’s gone now.

The world has left little time for writing, I’m trying to make time again. I need to, I need this for me.

I’m going to begin an experiment with microdosing, not sure if I will journal here or on paper.

Life since Empty Nest has been filled with home repairs and trying to envision what the future looks like now. I’m still not sure, but it does sure feel good to take control of my physical space again and make and keep it the way I want it.

My daughter really hasn’t spoken to me since she moved. That is her choice, not mine. I have a few things to say to her, and will try to do it with kind ness and love, even though I don’t believe it will be taken that way.

This Summer was full of eventful things.

There were Dragon Lights:

The finding and creation of new space:

Discovering and remembering beautiful outdoor spaces that nourish us, body and soul.

Burning Man happened. I tried to be a workaholic for it again, and I was denied. That could have been the best thing for my soul and spirit and I thank the universe for having my back. It rained out there. The media tried to make things negative about that, but we were born for that sort of scenario. I never met a Burner that didn’t take 3 or 4 times as much stuff as they needed. They told us they were hearing about cannabilism and ebola, what was actually happening was beautiful community, yurt karaoke, community beans and chai, and beautiful new friends.

I’ve said many times this year….I’ve been lugging those boots to the playa for a decade and never needed them. THIS WAS MY YEAR!! It was glorious and mostly DUST FREE, a real revelation if you know anything about this event.

Our camp gave away warm bean soup and fresh masala chai from this cauldron during the event:

At this moment, I am feeling pretty emotionally exhausted, so I will finish catching up later.

Peace.
