Oh Maia! How I love you! You've put into words why I started here as well. Can't wait to read your memoir <3

I am delighted to be part of this new adventure. My life and from all I see and hear around me life in general is never polished and well behaved. There are rare if any places where we can be our messy selves and find support, space and gentleness. I am grateful for your oracles and books and really look forward to share this adventure here.

Truth? I love to have things tidy... but it's not very inspirational, is it? There's no room for change when everything is in its place. Thanks so much for being here Adalia and my apologies for taking a beat to respond-- I had a vertigo episode and it's made it difficult to be on screens.

I hope you were able to manage that nasty vertigo. No worries about time either I fully understand. I do love to have things tidy and organized too but from that point to the point where everything needs to be perfectly positioned, manicured and filtered and then probably uploaded ... ugh, I hope we have much more room than we realize. Reading your books and working on my druidic studies helps me a lot to relax and let life go where it needs to go.... and then obsessing about tidying things again. LOL I hope to learn and grow along with everyone here in our own very weird and true selves.

If we can be weird and true here, I will have achieved my goal!

The vertigo is significantly better... and figuring out how to not let it become debilitating is going to be a journey... luckily, I’ve done this before.🤦🏻‍♀️

I am so glad you are doing this. ❤️ so looking forward to your newest book and this new adventure. You have changed my life with your words and helped me tap into a part of myself I had put to sleep for decades. I am in for the long haul with whatever you create. Thank you for what you bring.

That warms my heart, Delphine! I write stuff and send it out into the world and don't always realize the what those words are doing once they're out of my sight. (And sorry it took so long to respond here-- I had a vertigo attack and have been having trouble reading the screen this past week.)

I love the "Unkempt" idea! It's a theme that certainly fits parts of my life. Kind of like "comfy". I'm looking forward to seeing what you share here in what hopefully really is a freeing space. 🙂💖🙂💖

thanks for being with me Ellen! So sorry I was long to respond-- I had a vertigo attack and have been having trouble looking at screens (not good in my line of work).

I first met you at The Herbiary in Chestnut Hill. Liked you immediately because you were not “ poised, polished and well behaved “.

I have learned so much from you over the years, found comfort in your words and have made friends through your online groups.

Looking forward to this new venture ❤️☕️

Thanks for sticking with me, Kim! I don't know how it happens exactly but the most lovely community seem to form up around me. Hoping we do that again here.

Those feelings are precisely the ones that paralyze me every time I open social media, the ones that keep me from creating over there. I am SO excited to be a part of your experiment, your community, and your readers… the ones that want to know ALL of your thoughts, not just the curated parts. Thank you for beginning. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for joining me over here, Savanah! I'm hoping this is a space where we can all let our guard down and be a little unkempt.
