Thanks for your article. I love your discussion of going with the flow and how you are doing it more. And when you discuss the timing and what you said about it really helps. There’s some things I keep meaning to do but for some reason, can’t make myself do them. Maybe it’s just not time. Hopefully, I will be able to make time for things that I am wanting to get back to soon. I sort of feel like I’m wandering around aimlessly in the dark and I’m trying to figure out what my time should be spent doing.
I am doing much better today than yesterday. I was wondering if something was going on astrologically or something yesterday. I had a pretty bad migraine and my husband and I were definitely not on the same wavelength and he was super grumpy and bickering ensued.😆
I’m definitely looking forward to channeling practice this weekend!
Hey there! I also love your description of going w/ the flow and also that it's not all on you. So true in so many ways and not always readily available to me in ability to enact! I'm working w/ the idea of surrender . . . in a kind of allowing what is to be, not having to control or even understand/have it all figured out kind of way, but also surrender - stop fighting & controling who & what I am. So many layers to that. Surrender has typically looked more to me like . . . "well, that's the way it is - deal with it," but this doesn't feel like that. It feels like letting go of resistance in the way of beliefs, entrenched patterns of behavior/response, etc. and feels more like freedom and feels empowering.
Alrighty - those are my thoughts this Monday evening. Thank you for the space. <3 <3 <3
Surrender. Yes! I have been working on this kind of surrender as well, surrendering into a deeper love of myself. So freeing, you are absolutely right on :)
I am so happy to read your writings as of late. As a writer myself, I can relate and know the feeling of being in the flow with words! Please keep on writing! Be Prolific! It suits you. I also know that writing helps me stay in the moment, be in the flow, it moves energy, it takes me to where I need to be (even if I resist it), and it can be used to slow down time. That last one- time- is a new awareness. Maybe writing is always a good use of time? Not sure... anyway, please keep writing And sharing your process. It is a beautiful gift you give.
I too am a happy reader when you post on Substack. Did you ( or am I that much older) read Harriet the Spy. A little tomboy girl who lives in Manhattan and has her composition book at all times, documenting what's happening Ala journal. That was ( is) me. Yet not yet really been public. I have all of my journals since I am 8! I love you Nora. Today I am prepared for my meeting with my agent tomorrow. ( canceled my dentist appointment because I needed to work at writing). Is mental health better than dental health? YES!
“It’s when I try to control these aspects of reality, the ones I can not control, that I twist myself in knots.”
I am feeling very powerless. It really started when I moved to Ok. I’ve not found assistance to any problem/situation I’ve been in, from a dealership staying thousands of dollars from me by using 2 contracts and ripping me off. Not just me, but many people I talked to had their own tales. Attorneys said I signed it, they can’t help. Then they were raided with the mgr fleeing leanvng his pregnant teen daughter behind. And on and on. The big gorgeous pyranese the 3 have sheriff deputies surrounded me instead of saving the dog. And on and on and on. I sound like a victim, and I’m just so done with this state regardless of the beauty here in the Wichita mountains.
And, driving my dog to his eye specialist in OKC yesterday, someone slammed on their brakes in front of me, which sent my dog flying and the charging phone cord able pulled my car out of drive into park or neutral. Guess what, OK. Highway patrol said is they didn’t see it, they can do nothing. I could be some random person lieing. So I’m getting an exray of my ribs because it feels like I have a fractured rib. I’m not able to find my way neutral at all currently.

Love to you and Jon and furkids.
Love right back to you. Thank you for your heartfelt share. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
One ( if not a lot more) things that I heard from Nora is, it is just not time.. means it is all a okay!
I love this!

Thank you, Mary. I love all of this and you.
Writing as magic! YES!!!!!!
"It can be used to slow down time" - yes! I have had that happen.
Such good magic.
I so appreciate your support.

I LOVED Harriet the Spy!

I am so sorry. Sending you love and wishes for ease into a more loving experience.
