I am craving the stillness and space and solemnity of November, but my everyday life is so busy and work is quite intense to be honest. However, I’m stealing away solitary moments in the evenings and cozy gatherings on the weekends. So, somehow, I’m finding balance in it all.
Your words reminded me once again to notice all of the small things around me at all times. Thank you, my friend. xx
Yes I know quite what you mean Liz, it is easier said than done that's for sure. I am so glad that you are able to make space in the evenings and weekends and I hope that work is manageable when you are there.
I am so glad to hear that my words have acted as a little reminder of the beauty — yours do the same for me, I am very much looking forward to sinking in to your latest words as soon as I can xx
I wish I didn’t feel totally overwhelmed at the prospect of planting bulbs! I need your magic! Such a beautiful reminder of this pause before the glimmering lights coif December arrive. I am being forced to slow by my body but it kind of feels delicious when I soften to it. Lovely words as always xxxx
I have had the bulb overwhelm consume me too, but I did finally find the space and make the order the other day, they arrived yesterday and it was the most exciting arrival. Now to find the time to actually plant them in the ground (let me know if you want the list of what I ordered!) Yes I am feeling this pause necessary more than ever this year, at the same time I would like to get a little bit ahead for Christmas this year but it hasn't happened yet. I am so glad you have been able to soften to rest when you have needed it and I am so grateful in advance for your latest Nidra, I can't wait to immerse myself in it soon xx
This is just beautiful. And you’re so right, about November being an apt time to pause and anchor into stillness (before the madness of December hits!). I’ve tended to associate that stillness with the winter solstice, but I love this shout out for November, in all her pared-back glory 🍂 xx
Ah thank you Annabel. I’m glad the idea of a pause now resonated with you — as I wrote I felt a deep need for space and stillness. I agree, there is so much beauty to be found in the silhouettes, and in the simplicity that is revealed in November xx
Oh wow Claire, that’s brilliant, it will be so worth it in those late winter/early spring days. I have been feeling the call to get back out into the garden… I finally knuckled down to make a bulb order and they should be arriving soon… now to make the time and space for them xx

All week I've been both pruning and planting bulbs. So far I've planted around 70 so I'm hoping they come through.
