Loving the talk of produce swap. I don't grow enough to swap unfortunately. As much as I adore gardening I have such time contraints in my life that I hav to make hard decisions.
I remember my gran used to preserve so much at this time of year, her kitchen always smelled divine, whether she was making chutney, drying mushrooms, making blackberry jelly and cordial, rose hip syrup.
I think all these actiivities help us tune into our ancestor energy. Living in cold climates it would be an absolute necessity to preserve in order to keep us healthy during the winter months.
The full moon was very potent for me, and I am still reverberating to the after shocks in my dreamscape and learning opportunities multiple times a day.
The moon forced me to really examine how I enforce my protective boundaries, so easy to set, often difficult to put into action.
I have also been put into situations that make me choose authenticity or being viewed as a "bad" person. Knowing that being seen in a good light by others is not always in my best interests. And knowing that if I push past my true self and do as others expect or would like, that I risk increasing my anxiety, or have a period of low mood.
It is such a beautiful autumn day here, I love the golden light that suffuses the air, that low sun with longer shadows highlight the orange tinge to trees, giving a calling card of things to come.
I have just finished my brunch, and will set about hanging laundry.
I have attended a yoga class nearby at a posh studio as my usual class is not running today. Posh place is a bit pricy for regular attendance, but it is fun trying out different classes and teachers.
Have an enchanted day sisters.
