I Love all you write. I'm so happy for you to be having a baby. I too lost my 1st and 2nd. Then at 37 my 3rd baby, David, was a fighter. I almost lost him twice. So I laid on our couch for 2 months and learned to stop spinning so much, be gentle with myself, put my feet up more and really relax. Please do the same. Sounds to me you have a wonderful life ahead of you. Thats so exciting. Enjoy every moment, they will go by in a blink of an eye. :) Big Hugs
Oh Chelsey, I adore hearing your world of experiences . ... How everything happens as it divinely should at the divine time of us on earth .. connecting with our land and feeling our roots .
And just being ... I can relate I'm going through a slowing down of self development , self improvement . I like me and want to just be with that and let myself be honoured and cherished. It's been a long journey . 13 yrs of sobriety a road of ups , downs , bends and meanderings. Hurricanes , dark nites , light days and growing love .
40 is a lovely age and a great age to be a mum ! I'm so delighted for u both I could squeal ... In fact I might 🤣
Squeek .
I was thinking of u the other day and how I miss your voice .
So my friend sending my love , keep being you ... Delightful and rich .
Happy NY, Chelsey. Your pledge for 2023 sound great. I'm aiming for making time, space and quiet so that I can listen to what I might want and leaning into that much more. I hear you very clearly on getting okay with being okay... I think to some extent I'll always feel 'improving' and 'growing' is possible. I'm just at the start of beginning to trust that I'm just fine as I am and that my own ways of doing things might just be fine too. Wishing you well with your pregnancy!

6+ years to recover yourself to the point of moving on is pretty quick. Some spend decades and still haven't a clue.
Sharing your journey as you have for the betterment of all is being generous. Thank you for being generous. I've and clearly others have benefitted.
Life with or without having a son or daughter is a privilege and great opportunity. Make the most of it. And recall what Shaw said and "...rejoice in life for its own sake."
Here's the whole quote by George Bernard Shaw:
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I've got held up for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

May your sweet baby be a Taurus? A fine sign I'd say :)

Total acceptance w/o judgement or evaluation appears as miraculous. Years or a lifetime, where is there to go, really?
I wish I could write more, Chelsey, I am a bit cut off . I can feel quietly excited for you.
Thank you for your update, Chelsey.

💖💖💖 So very glad you are back!
How u feeling?
Gentle mornings.... Gentle days... The sun is shining with a beautiful haze.
The birds sing sweetly, the traffic hums.
Comfy in bed sitting on my bums :)
I wish you well on this sweet day
Life will happen and we have a gentle say.
When it's harsh out there and gets too much.
Remember the divine in the gentle hush 🤎
