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. |

I felt compelled to share it: https://www.amatterofmagic.com/blog/how-the-past-finds-us#/ With love, Trisha
Hi, This may seem like a detour from my reinvention series ... but the truth is, it’s part of the same story. I'm calling it The Life Beneath the Reinvention: What Caregiving Is Teaching Me About What Comes Next The life I’m trying to create only makes sense in the context of the life I’m living right now. I have a feeling you may relate. My dad was admitted to the hospital by ambulance this week. This post is about what happened there, and how it’s shaping what comes next. It's real. It’s...
