I see my familiars. My family. My home.

I won’t say that honeysuckle is my favorite bloom, but I will say the incredible aroma wafting all around me and everywhere I go in this forest, is intoxicating and healing.

My work with myself and my clients has changed from self improvement to self regulation and being safe enough. Because, self improvement is, perhaps, more maddening than helpful.

I’m reading this post from my front porch while eating a delicious dinner, listening to the 17 year cicadas, and looking out at the forest and mountain range that surrounds me.

Oh, and you two need to come visit me as I have the perfect hill for the cheese round!

So lovely to hear and feel you. I can picture you sitting on your front porch, what a joy! Thank you for sharing with me, I’m all lit up inside imagining you there with the cicadas. Your photos of the views from your place are just glorious.

I love honeysuckle too. The hedges in Wales are full of it.

I love your comment, ‘self improvement is, perhaps, more maddening than helpful.’ YES! The work that is never done. It’s exhausting.

That would be so fun to visit. We could begin a new tradition in your area with the cheese rolling!
