How are you?

I haven't posted for a week or two. To be honest, I've been struggling with what to say. My creativity has really dried up. ​

Lockdown + current events in the States are a lot to deal with!

(I don't mean like, "poor me". These are important issues. But if we focus too much on the injustice, it can really take its toll.)

So today's newsletter is a mix of things. A hello, to start with :) How are you doing? How are things in your part of the world?

I'd love to hear. As always, you can email me or leave a comment below. 

My recent musings...

I've been thinking about what we've been going through recently. Lockdown has been tough, for pretty much everyone I know. 

So, as I love to do, I've been looking for the learning. And here's what I discovered...

• I've really missed hanging out with friends and having places to go. I took this for granted in the past. 
  
  
• I love travel so much. We had a lot of trips planned for this year, and I can't wait till travel starts up again! 
  
  
• I eat really badly when I'm bored or at home all day.

It's also highlighted what's important to me: the things I miss... and the things I don't!

For example:

I like doing less and having more free time! 

I like not spending as much money.

But I miss seeing family and friends. 

I've realized that it doesn't matter what the activity is or where we go - it's more important who I'm with. 

Over to you...

How about you - what have you learned during this time?

1. What have you missed... and what are you happy to have foregone? 
   
   
2. When things are eventually back to "normal", what practices or routines will you keep in place? 

In years to come, we'll be able to look back and say, "I survived". And, hopefully we'll also be able to say: "I learned, and I grew from this". 

What have you learned? And how have you grown? 

Sending you love, light, joy - and whatever else you need at this time

With you in spirit,

Claire
