Uncertainty. Like impending rain clouds threatening to thwart our best laid plans. Rain clouds that wash away the walls we put up to “protect” ourselves, helping us uncover our truest selves, and leaving a double rainbow just for kicks.

As many of you know, though equally many may not know, in late 2018 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My remaining tumor is stable now, and hopefully won’t grow at all, but I do get bloodwork every 3 months to check on it. All of that to say, getting comfy cozy with uncertainty has been a necessity. A huge part of that comes from slowingggg downnnn. More than I ever realized I needed.
