Checkin: How’s your mood? What is conditioning you? How are you taking care of yourself? What are you grateful for? What do you want to accomplish today?
It seems like forever since I last came here. To writing. I checked our page every day, foraging for you.
We’ve been meeting and hanging out more. And I’m loving it.
I, somehow, have been feeling a little distant from everyone. Messy end of the cycle. Affecting my sleep, my energy, my appetite. It’s getting longer than expected. Imagine. Joking. Am I? Nervous. Too soon.
Ayo is 18. Kai is 8. Dante is 9 months <3
A soft celebration of my tiny love making loveletters, yesterday. And cleaning the house, organizing my mind.
Such great morning workouts and yoga. After a couple of days of almost zero energy, I’m now feeling my body getting stronger.
mM session with the kids was so hard. As I shared there with you and them, it always feels so unexpectedly expected. I struggle a lot with not having reactions (well, that’s a reaction), presentially and online too. It got a little better as we pushed and exposed our struggles and discomfort. By the end it was hard to let go of so many doubts, unclarity. Ayo and I stayed talking for a few more minutes and I think we got closer, more clear of what we’re aiming and expecting with this project, how we want them to be involved.
Reflecting back, I really think I have to make more efforts and become better at introducing sessions and topics, and to make questions, play more in between, make intentional shifts in tone, posture, requesting, telling what I expect from people in that moment.
I’m feeling some despair with funding applications, frustrated, a motivation / hopelessness rollercoaster. It feels so draining, destructive. Disruptive.
I’m also a little sad about Jan drawing back from meeting us before making decisions. In the first interaction he made it sound that he was really into meeting us to imagine what we could do together to support Largo, whether he would get involved or not, supporting or not.
Our situation is not looking good. Yet, money is coming for the production of the book. Yet, I feel so grateful for our will, persistance, perserverance, creativity, joy.
