Wow! What a year, and what a lovely post. I can see now why you picked up on the verbing in my last posting. I am very much enjoying the shift in awareness that comes with this more 'indigenous way of writing'.

Happy Birthdaying Shelly!

and much loving caring for your recovering thumbs xxx

Love this Shelly. It so feels like everyone in my connected heart map has entered 2025 deciding to take notice of the gold in small things. Our indigenous peoples (Māori) here in NZ have following the moon cycles (Maramataka) imbedded deep in their culture…a lived science…I love hearing it echoed in your life cycles. Happy Birthday (Rā whānau) for the 16th x

Thank you so much, Melissa!! "Taking notice of the gold in small things" feels like the most life-giving approach to 2025. Love the idea of following the moon as a lived science. Thanks for inspiring me! :)
