Iv started reading your book again and iv realised I’m actually doing less . When I read it years ago I could only dream of beginning the process of living slower more intentional . I craved it soo much as I was burning out.
So thankyou for helping me begin the slow and I hate to say very painfull process of slowing down. ( it can be very confronting )
The joy I get know comes internally, instead of the externally. Though I still criticise myself for not doing enough, I now seek different joy, peace and quiet and that subtle internally feeling deep in my gut. This feeling makes me cry with joy and see my life for what it truly is . A series of wild and magical events.
It's a beautiful thing to re-read a book and notice the ways you've changed, softened or grown—and what an honour to hear you're re-reading mine! Now you have a song by The Pocket Trio to listen along to as you do, too. I'm glad my book found you at the right time and has been helpful 💙
My notes every day are like, “but where is Nancy!?” And “I was cold today.” Thank you for sharing these profound and meaningful thoughts and stories from your life with us.

I so much love this article and I find it very relatable and helpful as someone who once battled with doomscrolling.
I shared how I broke free in my latest article:

Appreciate you sharing, Ruth! You're so right, it's not just a discipline thing. Thanks for your great ideas 💙
It’s a delight!

Thank YOU for the morning chuckle, Bridget! Here's to finding Nancy and a nice sweater for the cold weather 💙
The song! So great! ✨🎶
The lyrics linger! 🎶
Insightful and a joy to read as always. Thank you Madeleine

I love the expression “magical portals” - mysterious but so real!
Thanks Martin — would love to know where/when you spot them, too!
