Your joy RADIATES, Barbara, and infuses all who participate in your revelations. Thank you for sharing this one!
Not gonna lie... when my inner elf/dreamer/fantasy-lover read the title, I immediately thought: Oh! The paintings were being held captive in the tree! (It's a good thing I don't hold public office... 😂.)
Hahaha! I love that fantasy ending, Mary! Honestly, I'm so happy with myself at how quickly I moved through it and moved on. Now I'm busy shredding all the stuff in the unwanted boxes that came home to me too. UGH. Old tax returns etc. Medical records from my allopathic days. Don't miss them! This has turned out to be quite a cleansing and moving on month. Thx for reading/listening! XOXO
Oh my goodness! I did not know quaking poplars were aspens! I grew up in Colorado and aspens were one of my favorite childhood magical tress. I would walk through aspen groves pretending I was walking through an Elven city like Rivendell from Lord of the Rings. I collected their shiny golden leaves, like they were precious gold coins. There essence being to heal and overcome fear - I had so much fear as a child, the trees and the aspen glades were on place I could fully breathe and feel safe.
Josie - your comment gave me the biggest smile but also made me tear up. Thank you for sharing that beautiful Nature tidbit from your childhood! I'm probably one of the few people who calls them Quaking Poplars instead of Quaking Aspens. My first post here on Substack explains why if you're interested. https://barbarasinclair.substack.com/p/youre-like-the-quaking-poplar?utm_source=publication-search
So many people mention Colorado when the subject of these precious trees comes up! I just love how they look like a heart and your description is perfect.
Thanks for reading and leaving this precious comment, Josie. XOXO
I KNOW! Thanks for the shared excitement of a fallen tree, Jamie! :) And thanks for always taking the time to read and comment. You are so precious to me! XOXOXO
Rightly interpreting the language of Mother Nature! Thanks for this. And the video. She sure was a beaut! Majestic! I hope much balm to your heart too, to find all her sisters looking over you. 🤗
Thx, Tonika! I honestly wish I could have bottled up the Tree Joy I felt in that moment. And yes...all of her sisters! That was just icing on the cake. Much love to you, dear one. XOXO
"I do believe this was a gift from Mother Nature, congratulating me on letting go of the missing paintings and helping me to move on. This is what I love most about spending so much time outdoors, especially in the woods. So much Magic happens there, even when we’re not looking for it."
I do believe this too. Ahh, deeply good reminders here, Barbara. Thank you. (And I know how those trees can wave you over!)
So much is shedding during this time, we don't need those sticky bits that like to hold on. Sometimes we do require a nudge though!
So much meaning and communion all around us. Thank you for always, so naturally reminding us.
Finally getting to this... Hi, Barbara!
Life is still weird, but at least the fake assault charge is DISMISSED.
Thank you for this, you know they're food for my soul, your posts.
I hope you're doing well, and THRIVING, actually. Sending biggo hugs! ^_^
I'm so happy to hear that, Jaan! Big hugs back to you! XOXO

Shredding and shedding (as Kathleen talks about, wisely)! Perfect for Fall. How much can we let go of?? xox!

Thanks for understanding, Kathleen! Yes to the shedding...can't shed enough these days. My moon and rising are both in Taurus so...def need nudges!
Thank you for reading, Kathleen! I am so behind on my emails...just saw one from you that I missed. Will check it out now! XOXO
I love this so much and I am so glad those quaking poplars have revealed themselves to you. The magic you experience there is so lovely.
The trees are waiting for you... XOXO
“There is always [in the forest] peace and beauty. Stillness and wonder. Joy.” So true!
Aren't we so fortunate to live here?? Thx for reading! XOXO
