One of the reasons I love living where I do is that it's very flat - you get these huge, beautiful skies and incredible sunsets. Sometimes it feels so expansive, so uplifting, so light, that I wouldn't mind if it was summer all year round. And then I realise - nope, I wouldn't actually want that.

The healing journey is rarely linear - more often, it's a rollercoaster of ups and downs.

Your brain is doing its best - but it's not *totally* reliable.
