“Who am I?” is the question I’ve been asking myself as the 3rd trimester spin has me hunkering in, letting go of external ‘work’ offerings, and preparing for birth and motherhood.
It’s a huge transition.
Yet I’ve always said to myself that I never want to be ‘just a mother/housewife’. And, whilst I recognise the judgement in that - as if it’s not fully worthy in and of itself - I also recognise the multifaceted beings we all are.
How to navigate the balance between self and other is always key in any relationship.
And this feels to be part of my birth prep’.
So it felt really refreshing this weekend, to reaffirm my belief in embodied discipline (listening & honouring needs), spiritual practice, community, and creativity.
✨ we visited the wonderful Turner Prize expo - recommended - as part of .
✨ I’ve taken my heavy arse out for sunrise walks.
✨ Been doing more birth-prep yoga!
✨ Started a new Sadhana (daily practise, this time a mantra in honour and support of the Divine Masculine; So Purkh - perhaps I’ll share more on that in time).
✨ Went to meet to celebrate the Poetry book launch, Invocation, by - powerful.
✨ Saw more of the Leeds poetry scene in bloom - - lovely to see you all.
✨ Went to to hang with beauts community and celebrate open mic others’ open mic shows and more.
✨ AND, got up in the mic myself!
It’s been a while.
Reading from my own Poetry Book,
Awaken, Queen,
which will one day have its own full birth honoured, perhaps.
And now I’m feeling more in balance (despite the heavy load up front 😅); more alive in myself; inspired; and happy.
I’ve simply been enjoying life in pregnancy, and slowly moving away from ‘work’, but last week reminded me how I love to create and support and share life-affirming tools that I call ‘work’.
🙏🏼 So what would YOU (my followers/community) like to receive from me going forward?
Grateful for life.
