Thank You, Mary Oliver

I’d like to offer you one of my favorite poems by the beautiful Mary Oliver. Not only is this poem so wonderful, but making it this week’s Inspire is an act of self love at the moment. I’m so overwhelmed with holiday cooking, that to write one of my usual pieces would just be too much right now. My head is kind of exploding, and not pushing myself harder than I need to has been a skill I have recently learned. I tend to take on a lot, like so many women do, and giving myself permission to slow down has been a lovely practice. Wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah a happy, healthy, sweet New Year. May we all grow, and support one another in our growth. Thank you for being here.
