I’m so glad that you gave yourself the gift of time. A new year does seem like a perfect time to reassess our allocations of time.
I have a friend who once said ‘if I don’t have time to turn my compost then I am doing too much’. I like that- for me it is following a call- from the light, or the land, an internal inkling. I want to ensure I gift myself time for that each day (or week whatever is right for that time). If not, I must reclaim that time from where I have ‘mislaid’ it.
May our new years be kind indeed. Thank you.
Your words inspire me to stay intentional with a ‘gentle discipline’ to my creative output…my 2025 theme.
I see gentle discipline as - Sthira / Sukha strength without rigidity, ease without laziness
I love this: "With the direction I’ve taken over the holidays I now feel that this parallel personal work is something that I can periodically share with those who do choose to support my writing through a paid subscription." When I read it, I got a feeling of authenticity. You've found a way to offer your paid subscribers more without being fake or stretching yourself too thin. Beautiful!
Thank you Sarah. Yes, it feels like it should be more sustainable, and I do think that it may help push me to keep going with my folder, and see how things evolve.
Love this post Michela, it's hard to be considering different strands of our creative lives but life can speed past! Looking forward to more updates from the moss
Michela, you have been busy and it is so inspiring. Happy New Year to you. I've been down with Covid which actually gave me the space to stay home and clear my head, rest and think. Onward to 2025.

I hope this makes sense to you!
Thanks Pippa, that’s a good thought to carry into the month. You’ve reminded me that I must make friends with my compost again!

Thanks Debbie, and no worries. I’ve sent you a message which I hope might extend a little seasonal goodwill. Mx

Thanks Pamela. My heart sank when I read ‘Covid’ but it’s good that you’ve found a positive from it. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks Michela, I think that I am pretty well past it now, but I am continuing to rest and make more time for my creativity.
I look forward to whatever your heart and mind want to share. Happy New Year!
