Sharon! I mainly rushed here to say how outraged I am that you are not allowed an extended solstice pause. Who are these people with their entitlement to you? A dereliction of duty? 'You are not a foot soldier for anyone's year!', I shouted at my little screen. You must rest. You must take longer. And when you rouse rested we will drink tea on limestone 🤭 THEN I scrolled down and found you had given a hefty chunk of your reading slot to Weathering. Thank you again! There is a wonderful resonance between the words Hearth and Weathering - sharing letters as they do. I think this is the sign of something. To be discussed further :)

This post touched me deeply Sharon. I am grateful for the path you open up for someone like myself, who will cross the threshold into her 40s next year. I devoured your book ‘If Women Rose Rooted’ back in 2020 when my life started to change drastically (I wonder whose hasn’t?!). I know I welcomed the changes yet little did I know what they would entail. One main lesson I hold dear is to focus on the how (rather than the why) - how do I breathe, how do I honor, how does life wish to be lived through me. Somehow this post reaffirms to me to hold this ‘how’ question as a beam of light ahead. I will light the candle on solstice this year and think of all of the beings who rest in the stillness.
