Breathing & Creating

Dearest friends, 

I realize I’m writing less this cycle 5 recovery period because my head is down, creating in another way. As my last cycle in the hospital approaches, I’m working as fiercely as my energy will allow to make little gifties for the nurses, doctors, and volunteers who nailed it in the “support” category of my journey.

I plan to share what I’m creating with you as soon as I finish. I feel grateful to use this time to really lean into the visual artist and crafty cutie parts of my creative identity. 

I return to the 20th ward for cycle 6 next week. My feelings about this last cycle expand the boundaries of my writing ability right now. I remind myself there is time and space to learn the names of these feelings - in the meantime, feel feel feel and let it go. Breathe, breathe, breathe, and let it go. 

In the meantime, I hope you experience small summer moments, like savoring a snowcone by a body of water.

With love & feelings, 

Nutmeg
