listen to and learn from your cycles

Today, I am grateful to live in this magical place, to be surrounded by big, beautiful trees, rushing rivers, snow-capped mountains, covered bridges and brilliant waterfalls. 

I am learning I observe increased feelings of anxiety, worry, and fear, and that I am more susceptible to attaching to these feelings the week before I bleed. 

I accomplished introducing myself to a stranger at the ceramics studio. 

I delighted in making myself available to help my ceramics community, in being happily surprised by my first finished pottery piece, in trying a new to me place for lunch upriver, in spending the afternoon with my bestie, and in bailing on the hot springs when we found out there were over thirty people in the pools.
