Welcome to Litsy!

Hey #WildWomen - I haven‘t gotten into the discussions because my new copy (bigger print!) was stinky and needed airing out. I thought I‘d catch up this weekend, but I landed in the ER today for a few hours (tried to get a tattoo, now I have 3.5 octopus tentacles and that‘s it 😆 because I had a vagal seizure partway through) so my plans have…changed. I‘ll catch up when I‘m able! I‘m home, resting and recharging, and headed for okay.

I don‘t think I would call this “dead and dismembered aspect”of myself back because she lives in me.The summer after I turned 30,I was in a car accident that took me 5+ years to recover from-I still go to PT now. At that time I was single & living in Boston,so I needed to go back to my parents in CT for surgery.I gave up my job,my apartment, my social life.Surgery was successful in rescuing a damaged nerve,but was I left in severe chronic pain.⬇️

“You can try all you like you won‘t go in, I‘m not the daughter of a dog, I‘m the daughter of a wolf. There are six of you, what‘s that to me? You‘re men. Well, I‘m a woman. I‘m not afraid of you, not one bit”. Eponine- Les Miserable.

Early morning coffee and a book. #wildwomen #doll #intuition

I found this challenging- so much literature, poetry, speaks to me deeply. I chose Amanda Gorman for her live performances- 💕💕; Jane Kenyon because when I was introduced to her ages ago I fell in love; #RobertTree - our relationship to this tree is a family story that we add on to & celebrate every year when the magnolia tree blooms. This spring it will be 30 1/2 years old! #75Soft

Too many traditions so picturing a few:Thanksgiving & watching Macy‘s parade;Christmas table setting & Christmas Eve book stack-my aunt gave each of us 2 books Christmas Eve & continued with the next generation #Jólabókaflóðið;we take pictures every Year when my son‘s magnolia tree blooms(planted when he was 6 mths);annual Cape Cod weekend with my 3 sisters; hiking with my son since he was little;coffee & a book on our porch.#wildwomen

For me, I escape into the trees. I talk to them, hug them, smell their bark, listen to them in the wind ... they are my soul-source. Favorite spot? Going around the aspen loop trail up to Arizona's highest mountain, Mt. Humphreys (12,000+ feet). That is where I find my idea of god.

Traditions:
1. Watching “Easter Parade“ and “Singin' in the Rain“ every Easter with my Family. Same with “It's a Wonderful Life“ and “A Christmas Carol“ on Xmas Eve.
2. Sitting on the porch during a rainstorm.
3. Getting away with the pups every autumn to see the leaves change.
4. Going with Matt to at least one football game (high school or college) instead of watching from home.
The list goes on ...
Not afraid of judgement. 🧡💜💛

My go-to book for poetry, story-telling, wisdom, solace, friendship, love ... is this one, especially the scenes between the fox and the prince. When I was younger, this passage and their eventual parting helped me deal with losing people I loved, whether physically, emotionally, or both. This book makes me sigh in all good ways possible. It helps me heal. 💛💜🧡

Photos of where my Dad's side of the family has found solace for 3 generations. I love this place and the people that belong. This is where I feel my wild the most, where I feel free and alive. This is where I go to heal. 💓
