That quote is soul piercing. I’ve read it 5 times & it still feels life changing. It’s definitely something to come back to & be reminded of. Thanks for sharing.

I love this so much. I am letting my lawn grow for no mow May. It’s for the pollinators. It’s also cause I hate mowing. I feel guilt and shame every time I look at it I feel like I need to explain it to everyone - my kitchen dishes are overflowing. My house is a total mess. For the first time in my life, I write regularly and people are reading my stuff. My priorities are right where they need to be. I just need to start writing those permission slips. Thank you for this -very excited about your weekly posts!

The lawn guilt! Why can’t I shake it? Lawns make 0 sense anyway - it’s better for me, better for the bees, the earth to not devote my life to landscaping but I feel like I owe it to my neighbors??? Whhhyyyy? PS so happy for you and your perfect priorities 🙌

I have been contemplating this a lot this month- how I’m actually doing the right thing- swimming upstream and yet feel guilty like the neighbors will think I’m being lazy

Permissions! What a perfect RS lesson this would be 😂. Let’s normalize being normal and sometimes you just need a damn minute, people!!! No need to be superwoman 😁. This is great!
