When your body finally says no ...
|
Hi, This morning, I finally gave in. After two weeks of juggling allergies, asthma, and what I kept telling myself was “just a cold,” I spent the morning on the couch. Not in some noble, intentional, self-care kind of way. More like completely flattened and unable to lift my head off the pillow. What unfolded was this week's Weekly Spark ... a reflection on caregiving, self-neglect, and how easy it is to keep putting ourselves last until the body finally says no. If you’ve been carrying a lot, or tending to everyone else while quietly pushing your own needs aside, this one may speak to you. With love, PS If you'd like to explore the Matter of Magic archives, you can do so here. |

Hi, I’ve been thinking a lot about the strange tension between gratitude and longing. The way we can be deeply thankful for the life we have, the people we love, the safety, the simplicity, and the blessings … and still feel something inside us quietly asking for more. This week’s post is about that place. You can read it here: https://www.amatterofmagic.com/blog/you-can-be-grateful-and-still-want-more#/ With love, Trisha
Hi, Two years ago, I wrote a blog post called Embracing the Hallway. At the time, I thought I was writing about a temporary transition. Today, I’m realizing something I couldn’t fully see then. Maybe the hallway was never just the place between what was and what’s next. Maybe it was where the becoming has been happening all along. This week’s reflection is here: The Hallway Wasn’t a Waiting Room After All With love,Trisha
Hi, I missed my usual Tuesday blog post. At first, I wanted to call it procrastination ... but then I noticed what was really happening. Maybe I wasn’t failing, even if my inner dialogue suggested otherwise. Maybe I needed a pause. This week’s reflection is here: When Procrastination May Actually Be a Sign You Need a Pause With love,Trisha
