I'm glad to see you back, and I like the name change you made to your Substack. Your opening line: "January doesn’t create change. It creates shame, then calls it motivation." Spot on.
You do spend a lot of time on the road! No wonder you want to move. I wonder if the reason you haven't become attached to your present home is because you've always known it was too far out and would not be permanent. Sometimes, we just have to be ready for that next thing, that next big change. Sounds like you are. But I say, moving is complicated!
You are so good at being an example for us. Learning to listen to ourselves, our bodies, our minds, our hearts. You're helping by reminding us to do that. We are allowed to want something else, something different, something more.
Oh, and I love how you referred to your dog as one who moonlights as a life coach. (Don't they all?) That made me smile. My daughter has a weim and he often plants his paw on whatever person he happens to be communicating with. Such a smart, spirited breed.
Ah, yes, the weim breed is a life coach in a bundle of energy!
I have asked myself if my travel is the reason why! Trust me. But, I truly think it is because I hate my kitchen. I loathe it. 😂 I don’t really want to move, but I really don’t want to stay in this house. So, I think that is truly the “move” so to speak. Haha!
Alex, your strident words about January made me smile! I'm just beginning to ease into some genuine goals at the end of January. I love how you ultimately listen to your body. It's a practice. It takes time. We don't always listen immediately when it starts to tighten. The way you consistently engage in this practice inspires me.
Thank you, my friend. It does take practice, and it sometimes is a “failed” practice (and I use that term lovingly). But I still try and take time to be mindful about my body. Where I’m at. What I’m feeling. It has never led me astray!
Alex, I really appreciate your ability to translate how and what your feelings are showing up in your body. And your thoughts regarding January... Spot on.

The new year starts in spring and I refuse to accept this middle of winter nonsense. And winter is my favourite season.
