Ahhhhh shucks Rehana! The sincerity & appreciation of your comment is what I'm here for. I'm so glad you are reading and resonating. Thank you so much for sending your own "being-ness" my way--it's equally appreciated, inspiring, and missed!

Andrea I heeeaaar you! I love how you can write so we smell and keenly sense all the bits - from the drive from Elkins to Hburg, to the windy backroads painted with Michelob flavored lavendar hued sunsets plus all the *hard* inbetweens. Keep being and writing you! Much inspired by your eloquent and glorious prose :)

Your articulation of spring!!! ...MY GOODNESS...so poignant and palpable. This is it. How satisfying it is to read your observations and experience (and it's all-to-honest/uncomfortable at times, interweaving with life's emotions and path).

Andrea, thank you for sharing this piece 🙏 I’ve been this week thinking about the simplicity and ease we can experience in life once we’re through these transitions (I just recently moved as well and I realized the stress I’d been under only after getting settled in). I’m also barista-ing in the quaint town we moved to in Indiana and navigating how/when/where to spend my energy. Sending you gratitude today! ✨

Leslie-Anne, thank you for reading and for your comment! Gratitude right back to you ✨ Wow, the parallels between us really are something. I’m glad to know a kindred spirit is sharing in the experience of transition in this particular way. Looking forward to more connections and comments between us 🙏🏼
