It really was very hard and the most transformative I have ever been on. The challenge is …is to remember its wisdom. But the stories can be so strong sometimes and I get caught up in their tail spins.
The charity I’m part of - and work for - is for young widowed people and I still struggle with reading all the stories, especially from those newly widowed people. It is good ultimately to understand others pain, but it is also hard 💚
Who am I! The prompt that begins every journaling workshop I teach. The power of our stories and our language is everything. It’s what we carry and what we shed. I am loving this decluttering work - let me rephrase that - I move reading about your decluttering. I feel that I am still in a building phase at the moment. (A month of affirmations in November) Decluttering may be next.
Such great insight as always into the last month and what you’ve learned, so interesting and can’t wait to see what you’ve got up your sleeve for November 🙂❤️
I love love love this...Thank you Suzy. This is so soooo powerful.
WHO AM I?
WHO AM I?
WHO AM I?
I have a draft post of that same title...wow!
WHO AM I....and then when we let it all go...WHO AM I but LOVE...
thank you for this reminder and the reminder that we are human and in being human we feel, we have stories and we have a clean slate that can be reached out whenever we want to gently and softly bring us into the moment. Thank you Suzy. Thank you.
This month's declutter towards minimalism has really helped me get back to the now. I have found myself seeking out more info on minimalism and come across some fascinating people and unconventional lives being lived and it's inspiring.
I haven't stuck to how many things to let go of each day and some days didn't even do it but I instead I have gone with the flow and that's felt freeing.
I can really relate to how you felt after a few days of that retreat. I did a vipassionna retreat 18 years ago. 10 hours a day for 10 days of meditation and no talking at all. I thought I was going mad after 3 days and wanted to leave. I was convinced I was being brainwashed. But I had been dropped off by my husband and he was working and looking after the children that week, so I stayed and it was one of the most profound expriences of my life.
By day 6 I felt like I was floating. My thoughts had stilled. My mind rested. I couldn't wait to meditate more. Coming back out into the world after 10 days of silence felt VERY noisy.
What I have taken from this month of minimalism is a reminder of how exciting I find simplicity. It really lights me up. And discovering the most simple question to ask myself each day (when I remember 😆) what do I need?
Thank you Suzy for creating it in such a clear and simple way. It has been a joy. 💜
Incredible, seriously in awe of you. xx
That retreat sounds both really hard, and really amazing. As The saying goes ‘nothing great is easy’. 💚
