Hot Tea, Chaos, and Clear Boundaries

Hello Earthlings,

Let’s have a real chat over a virtual cup of hot tea. I want to tell you about my rising, because if you’re dreaming of a simpler, freer life too, I think you’ll get it. 

So, picture this, the grand plan was to greet the sunrise with a mindful walk. The reality? My cozy bed had me by the neck, and I woke up late. Again. And when I finally peeked out the window? A bone chilling scene that had zero appeal for walking. With that being said, my partner made some hot tea for everyone as we settled back into our blankets. 

Sometimes living free means giving yourself permission to swap a frosty walk for a warm blanket, no guilt attached. The sunrise will happen again tomorrow.

Since my plans have gone off-script, I decided to lean into it. No heavy prep today, just a gentle review of notes and some creative math.

My main mission of the day? Hunting for rainbows… not really, actually research on grant money for supplies! Dreaming of solar panels, garden tools, and building materials is one thing; funding them is another. I’m diving into the world of grants for sustainable living projects. It’s a bit of a maze, so if you’ve ever found a hidden gem of funding or have a tip, please, please write it to me in the comments. We’re all in this together! 

Now, for the real talk. It’s the inner work of setting boundaries and gently stepping back from people who drain my peace. Building a life that feels light and free means protecting its foundation. That’s my energy. It’s tough. It feels messy and uncomfortable. But I’m learning that a sustainable life needs sustainable relationships, too. Maybe you’re learning that right alongside me.

Okay, my tea has gone cold. Time to wrap up this chat and turn these plans into action. Did you have a frozen rising or a warm blanket moment today? Tell me about it below! 

Thanks for being here, for sharing this messy, beautiful journey toward a life that’s truly our own. 

Sending warmth 💚
