So great to hear your proposal is winging its way towards publication, Camilla. Beautiful Solstice blessings, so appreciated you wrote for us deep in winter as well as for those who are in their summer glory 💚

Thanks for your kind words and your support Sally. It's truly meaningful to me.

Walking the path of the writer isn't always easy, as I'm sure you are well aware. After going through the whole book proposal 4-week class and then sending it off, I'm now observing lots of doubt arising in me. Thankfully due to plenty of practice in meditation, I'm able to simply observe those feelings of doubt arise and pass without identifying with them. But I find I do need to continually remind myself to simply allow those feelings to arise and pass♥️🙏🕊️

Good luck on the book proposal submission, Camilla!

Also, I loved this bit for us southern hemispherians (that’s not a word, but you get it).

“May you find comfort in the quiet

and rest in the knowing

that the earth herself is in retreat—

not as an ending, but as preparation.”

Thanks Michael, and yes, I love that idea of composting happening in the dark and quiet times too. It's basically nature’s way of saying: “Shhh… I’m doing important rot."😆♥️🙏🕊️

“I’m doing important rot” — I love that!

I’ve been watching the leaves in park I go to (that have fallen off the trees) disintegrate a little more each day, and I haven’t been able to articulate how I feel about it. But I think you just nailed it. :)

Camilla, Congratulations on getting your book proposal ready to go and sending it off to the first agent! I'm sending good energy for you to find the right agent, and then the best publisher.

And thank you for those beautiful Solstice blessings. I am celebrating summer solstice by unpacking and beginning to scrape several decades of neglect off the inside and outside of my wonderful refuge, my new old home. Many blessings back to you!
