Good for you for recognizing what you need and taking it! Don't worry about disappointing anyone, everyone will be fine (or they will learn to be okay with it). I am so glad you are taking December for some rest and 2024 planning. Thank you for sharing the magic moments in your life also! It's a hectic season but remembering magic is important for perspective and mental health.

Shivers... I'm so so proud of you and everything you stand for. I know this wasn't an easy thing to write and I and many others will see themselves reflected in what you've said and the boundaries you have set. The tissue paper got me... 🥹

I have a piece on feeling paper thin that wants to come out... it's not now but it was then and it's important... Sending all the sparkles xx

Thank you ❤️

I really resonate with the feeling paper thin too. When you feel like that, it’s easy for the small things to hurt, isn’t it.

Did you get the same tissue paper from Sarah? I’ve kept it, it was so beautiful - they need to share where the bought it from 🙏

Zoe, I hope that you get a chance to rest, as things have been so so busy for you this year from the sounds of it. I think sometimes when we are in the middle of it all, we think, I'll just keep going, keep trying for a little bit longer. But it gets to a point it's just too much and we need to stop for a bit. I hope you know too that your post has inspired me to step back and to stop trying to do all of the things - thank you for that, your words came at the right time for me.

I’m so happy to hear it ❤️✨ I think that the things meant for us will still be there, even if we need to put them down sometimes

Zoe this was so powerful to read and such a hugely inspiring statement that honours your SELF, we need to see more of this in my opinion. I’m sorry things have hurt you recently, but I am so grateful for connecting with you here and feel excited to connect more in 2024. 2023 feels like a ‘trenches’ year... but out of that mud there are beautiful things emerging, they just need time and nurturance. Holding your heart at this time. Xxx

Love the sound of your vision board circle last Christmas 💚❤️ and what’s to come next year !! Yes to identifying your needs, recognising what you need and making changes to support that! Life changing. And also showing us how it’s done. Much needed x
