I love this Kate. Thanks for mentioning the gingers - mine are a forest of green & yellow and heady scented in the evenings. I’m also thinking you should listen to the album ‘Tidal’ by lovely Arizona artist Brian Lopez, multitalented guy who often tours with my faves, Calexico. It’s a beautiful record. X x
'Tidal' what a great word for your year ahead. Love your substack and your podcast, thank you so much. I also love your Ginger plant. My grandmother head one and it's a delightful smell. I had my own 'unexpected delight' with my Hoya plant. It hasn't been happy for years, but I moved it, and it must be happier in its new spot as it's flowered! Beautiful velvety waxy petals. My grandmother also had a Hoya, so I can't tell you how ridiculously excited I was about it.
So wonderful to have your words in my feed, the delicious description of your holiday and to your inspiring thoughts on the tides of life and noticing all the things, particularly unexpected joys!
Welcome back! Your summer sounds absolutely blissful. Glad it was restorative.
Unexpected joy: dropping my exhilarated 5yo off at her first day of school, then going for a slow shuffle run along the trails and having an echidna cross my path! Pointed it out to another runner and we exchanged quiet ‘wows’ and I cursed my decision to leave my phone at home for once (it’s never a good idea!)
Love this, Cassy!! Quiet wows are the very best xx Congratulations on your 5yo's first day of school! And your slow shuffle run. Thank you so much for sharing and for being here xx
