An important personal update

Thanks in advance for your kindness receiving it

Good Morning, Beautiful Human,

I have decided to step back from writing here for a bit. I have been doing an increasing amount of intensive trauma therapy and need to focus my efforts on that for the time being. It is my hope that in a month or so, I will be back, blathering on about all things nervous system, recovery, and finding magic in the messy middle.

That said, I make no promises about my timing. If there is one thing I have learned about life with serious trauma, it is that nothing goes according to plan, and our hope and beauty can only prevail when we allow them to walk hand in hand with our hardship and heartbreak. Often, much to my frustration, that work takes an unpredictable amount of time and is work we must do alone.

So, without further ado, that’s the plan. I’m off to do the deep, solitary work of holding hands with my heartbreak. Yes, at least for the moment, I’m off to befriend the truths of my past that broke me and made me exactly who I am today.

Until I’m back, I hope you honor yourself with whatever it is you need — sunshine, kindness, deep breaths, long hugs, spring blooms, and maybe even donuts galore.

Yes, I hope you honor you with whatever it is you need and you take it unabashedly.

And with that, I wish you a day and the awareness of your innate bravery in that pursuit.

I will see you soon.

Kindly,

Kate

A hug — for those who like hugs.
