Katie- I re-read this a few times like I often do with pages from your books. I think it may make its way into your next book... And the whole experience you describe resonated with me. I have zero talent or ability in drawing. Always self-conscious about the product of my drawing all these years, I steered clear, but I recently attended a nature drawing class on a whim. After all these years, I missed drawing and I was able to just let my colored pencil flow without any thought of my outcome. Great lesson to take back to my writing and the rest of my life. Thanks.
Thank you for this and bravo. Your post inspires me to get out my balance board. A couple of years ago, I bought a Revolution Swell 2.0 balance board, which is popular with surfers to practice at home. I got hooked on following the @revbalance Instagram account to watch people do amazing things on the board, like handstands and one-legged yoga poses, which inspired me to work at making progress beyond the basics. But for whatever reason, I stopped. I'm going to get it out just for fun again.

Love this so much, Katie. I can feel the positive energy radiating from your practice all the way in the green mountains. ❤️
