How I manage my own Spoons and How that Relates to this website

Thank you to everyone who follows along, has joined courses, follow me on socials, and given feedback so far! I truly appreciate each and everyone of you!

I wanted to take a moment to talk about my own energy limitations, and what that means for this website. I am currently in a phase of my health condition, where things are unpredictable. Well, to be fair, it has been 11 years of unpredictability but right now in this season, a little more so. With new symptoms and new diagnoses emerging in my life, I find myself with fewer and fewer spoons. But doing this, teaching these materials, and practicing permaculture brings me so much joy, peace, and passion.

With all of that being said, this means I cannot operate the same way someone without these conditions is able to. My goal each month, with the exception of the busy gardening season and December, is to produce new course material and blog post each month. These courses might be big, long 3+ hours worth of material, or they could be just 60-minute add-ons. I am still very much in the beginning of this and figuring out how I want to run things and manage this website to ensure that I can continue going financially and energetically, while still providing accessible information and material.

I might post new courses during the busy season, but I am not planning on it right now. The summer months where I live, I will be spending all my extra spoons enjoying the weather, working on my yard and garden. By not pressuring myself to create new courses during that time, I can conserve energy, be kind to my body, and accept my limitations. I will still be checking the website and social media, posting the odd blog, and sharing my journey. Just no new courses/programs. In December, I, like nature, just need a break. December is busy enough as it is; I like to give my body and mind ample time and rest.

Thank you to everyone for understanding and continuing to stick around even during my times of mini hiatus. I hope you join me in discovering and honoring your own times of hiatus, rest, and disconnection. This is also a belief and practice in permaculture, rest, observation and minimizing inputs. I believe that humans, just like everything else on this planet, were never meant to constantly produce, engage, and push. Times of true rest and purposeful isolation can be very healing and much needed.

I hope in my next life to be a cat, who sleeps on average 14-16 hours a day.
