Usually mid-year (once I’ve gotten a pulse on where I am and what I’m experiencing) I’ll name my journal document. This year it’s: The year of the empty spaces. After reading your piece, the title has brought more meaning. :)
Love this!!! I empty by sitting in stillness outside. I lay under a tree and listen to the wind speak through the leaves. I empty by spilling my thoughts on paper.
Your post has prompted me to engage with something that I’ve been wondering about for a while now. I wear a pendant I made from the wood of a tree that I spent a week sitting under. That week was a turning point in my life. I’ve worn the pendant for about three years. About 4 months ago it cracked open. Not enough the split in half, but an opening. It is telling me something. That tree is telling me. Something in me is opening.
Oh wow. This is so powerful. What a gift that you shared that here! Thank you. Something in you is opening! Something in you is creating space for more you/more life 💜
Yeah it is. And it is way deeper than my mind can comprehend - because I don’t know how to process it. I can only surrender to the feeling of it. To just sit in it. And to reflect that a tree, the universe (?), is watching, supporting… communicating through the pendant… is deeply deeply humbling.
I felt this deeply. Thank you.
Thank you so much for reading, Brittney. I'm honored that it resonated 🦋

My immediate response to this was to want to yell out joyfully "YOU ARE SO INFINITELY LOVED!" It feels like proof of that

I usually do some type of energetic vomiting. It helps a lot. I'll also scream and yell and do some kung fu.
Oooh yes to energetic vomiting! Such a powerful practice and experience
It really is. I always feel cleared out afterwards. Great post!
I love this! Love the flow of your writing too. I will think about what I need to empty the next few weeks 🍂
Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I deeply feel this type of change as well!
