Thank you for a beautiful, reflective read this morning, I’m happy to think of you tending to the quiet parts of you heart and mind as lovingly as you create your beautiful artwork. You still have quite a bit of illustration work ahead of you from what it sounds like so just take care to be gentle with yourself as you move through deadlines xx

🫶 as I read this I remembered something else I read this week about seeds starting to grow by sending their roots down. This is before they send any shoots up. Praying blessings on you as you rest after your amazing year.

Oh Gillian. So much of this resonates for me right now. Especially the parts about surrender, rest, and this line: " I can dream of a tree but I cannot force one to grow, I can only plant an acorn and be attentive to creating the conditions for growth, collaborating with forces and mysteries that are way beyond my mere creatureliness." Thank you for writing and sharing this with us 🙏🏻. Take good care of yourself, and give yourself all the rest you need. 🤍
