I love that you’ve noticed the shift from winter into spring affects you so deeply. I’m most drawn to the cusp of summer and autumn…a strangely magnetic and energetic time for me. So important to notice where we each find the fuel and magic in the seasons I think ✨
Yes, this winterspring potency is something that I have only really begun to notice in the past few years of mothering, and perhaps because I identify with the idea of a winter cocoon and spring emergence in so many aspects of my life. But YES, I absolutely delight in the summer to autumn shift, it often feels so golden, and then there is the whole ‘back to school’ energy of beginnings. I wonder if different seasons/shifts call to us in different life chapters too? xx
Hello. I just listened to this as I was on my way home from Tesco. It's very reassuring as I have been feeling a strange pressure to spring clean and rarely have the energy for more than one job that seems to need doing again soon after,like an endless cycle of unfinished business. I have some seeds so it may be a good time to plant them as the daffodils and tulips from my bulbs will fade soon.
Oooo I find it so interesting that you listened, would have loved to have had time to do an audio recording myself! I am feeling myself being drawn to speaking things more than ever. Anyway! Thank you and I’m glad you found it reassuring Claire. I absolutely resonate with not having the energy/time/inclination (!) etc. to do more than one job at a time, and yes it is never-ending! The thought of overhauling everything in one fell swoop feels entirely overwhelming to me, I much prefer the idea with tinkering with things until they feel fresh and spring-like…it took me until the beginning of March to take my snowflake decorations down…! And yes to seeds, it is the time! Have you sown seeds before? Hope your daffs and tulips have been bringing you joy, I remember you planted lots! xx
I've been listening to my substacks rather than reading them over the weekend ss it goes in more easily and its less screen time. The voice overs are very clear. I do voice overs when I have time which means rarely.
It’s a really good idea, I’m glad you find it useful. I usually try to get a woodland walk in over the weekend so audio would be good for me too. Ha yes, I feel the same, I am always writing/editing/refining until the last moment and there is rarely time to record myself but would love to do it more (something I never thought I would say!) xx
Ahhh my love this met me with such a soothing tone. Thank you for the reminder once more that we can emerge gently and tenderly instead of rushing or harsh transitions. Your home and words are so inspiring to me, I love the idea of decorating a branch from the woods for Spring! Xxx
I am so glad it came across in that way, there are many tangled winterspring thoughts…! But yes it all requires kindness and an easing in, I don’t like the idea of abruptness (which is a good thing really…with all the to and fro/back and forth that I feel on a daily basis!) and yes, gotta love a spring branch, definitely one to pick up on a woodland walk, think I might add some ribbons to ours! xx

I've done a few. I don’t have a professional set up so it's very home made. But that has its own charm.
Yes me too. I agree, also better done than perfect! xx
