Yup, that's me. Many photos of me. For most of my life, I have sidestepped birthdays with excuses like not wanting to be the center of attention. But on turning 50, a couple of years ago my attitude changed. Since then I've definitely got into celebrating my 'self'.
It took me a while, but I've finally embraced celebrating the fact that we were born into this world.
This birthday is one that is very much on the edge of a threshold. One which marks a deep dive into the liminal phase of menopause, the place of change and transformation.
Moving Home
It's also a threshold of leaving Asheville, a place that I've lived for 12 and a half years, and moving back home to Scotland. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has joined me on this journey, the folks who have taken workshops and wild retreats, attended classes, bought dolls and art, and those who have offered encouraging words.
Life is now becoming unending to-do lists and working out how to take 2 dogs from here to Scotland - it's going to be a long journey. But in light of those who are being displaced through war, I recognize mine is a privileged journey.
