This is wonderfully crafted, it’s a pleasure to read!
‘So what do you do’ is such a pesky question when you’re on a sabbatical... at the start, I answered it with ‘I am on sabbatical from...’ but I didn’t like it much because I was still defining myself in relation to my job.
As my sabbatical went on, I felt more and more comfortable answering with whatever project felt most ‘alive’ to me in the moment. I’d have a different response every time, which was kind fun :)
So many of just let the weeds grow in. It’s easier and we tell ourselves they’d all just take over the garden anyway. But you’ve made it sound so much more pleasurable to get down and dirty in that bed. 🌱
loved this!!
