Where I’ve been

Burned out. That’s been my situation for the better part of 2021. Burned out from work, from the pandemic, from all the changes going on in my life, and did I mention the pandemic?

I spent the majority of 2021 away from my family and friends, and isolating and not having opportunities to meet anyone outside of work – and even those meetings were mostly virtual.

My practice was barely holding on – but it was there. What little practice I had offered a bit of stability through the year. I started doing Full Moon Healing rituals via Zoom to give me at least a once-a-month connection.

The Virtual Fitness Coach that I’m working with these days encourages me to always do at least a minimum every day – and that minimum can be really small. While I didn’t continue my daily practice, I did at least continue to do *something*

Now we’re in 2022 and things are …. better? I’m at least back in the US and I can drive to see family and friends, but not being able to go into the office or festivals or events, and the still-existing pandemic are still causing challenges.

So, I make no promises on engagement, but things are feeling a little better, and the burnout is more manageable. Or maybe I’ve just learned better how to manage it. I’m still doing the Healing Rituals and we’ll be expanding them slightly this year. Beyond that … no promises.

This isn’t an “I’m back!” post, but more that I am still here, just being quiet and focusing on keeping myself sane.
