Life doesn’t always go as planned, as I well know. This is a lesson I continue to learn, over and over again. We are coming up on the end of the year and I feel like just yesterday it was Spring. Time has always been a mystery to me.

I’m going to be honest, I have been having a hard time doing anything beyond the basic necessities of each day. Between the current social and political climate, world issues, the state of the environment, and my own hardships, I feel constantly overwhelmed. It’s hard to find time, space, and energy to create.

I am able to get out little bursts here and there, but no photographing, nothing to share. Sharing feels hard. The extra steps it takes to document and post are too much. I’ve been feeling like just keeping what I’ve been making for me, a little secret perhaps.

I know that things will continue to evolve and change. I have finally been able to carve out some space and time, but it so often fills with life’s demands. I will keep trying and perhaps will have something to share with you soon. Until then, I send you all love and blessings as we head towards Winter.
