I am happy to announce Nibby and I will be returning to part time work this fall! The return involves a move back to the Ritchie Professional Centre and my colleagues at North Land Counselling. I can’t wait to be back and on your team assisting you. I'm planning for two days in the office, so if you are a colleague wanting to share space, or know of someone looking, please be in touch.
It seems my somewhat regular newsletter has now taken to being a bi-yearly touching base. Quite mind boggling that another six months has passed since I sat to write. Thankfully, despite challenges, life has been full of things I am grateful for. This fullness has kept me in a bubble that is both demanding and nourishing, and exceptionally distinct from my life pre second baby, and pre Covid.
Current world affairs are intense and important. I have struggled with how to contribute because a blacked out square on Instagram has not felt sufficient. While it can be overwhelming to know where to begin, I am reminded that there is work to do in our own lives. It often takes making space, learning and hard conversations. Here are a few ideas…
Sometimes, we have to create space to allow things to unfold in a way that feels better. We need to give ourselves permission for this shift in gears. Although I cannot predict if this baby will arrive four weeks early (like last time), I am trying to mindfully choose a slower pace, ask for more help, and set boundaries. I stopped seeing clients a week ago, have had time to do paperwork and referrals, and am hopeful that I can fill my reservoirs of rest, nurturing and nutrition before babe arrives.
