It takes courage to explore new paths, Jacqui.? I admire you.? Your experience is an excellent example of turning this weird year into a positive watershed moment. (And the hiking adventure sounds pretty magical.)
I see a lot of growth coming from all of the positive things you are pursuing.
I have come to love meditation.? Once I figured out how to let the exterior chatter just wash over and through me, I was able to engage in it more completely.? That took some time, and I had to relax the left side of my brain so it wouldn't continue to categorize and evaluate outside stimuli.? In the end, it was all so simple yet so hard to make it happen at first.? It sure is a rejuvenator.
Mary.
