Mar!!!!!! I relate to this so, so much for various reasons. I have such a complicated relationship with wanting more, which can lead to me buying stupid things I don't even like instead of the things I really want, or staying in a scarce-feeling place when things are not as scarce as they once were (and have potential to be even less scarce...or more abundant).

I love that you have the hair color you want, and the fancy nails. As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I encourage you to get that huge bathtub (maybe a big one with claw feet?!?!). We all deserve things that make us feel good and comfortable. In a fair world we would all have what we needed. But sacrificing your comfort doesn't give comfort to anyone else. (I'm kind of saying this to myself as I write it, too). The more comfy and happy you are, the more you can fully show up when you want to show up, the more fair the world will be. And your fireplace looks gorgeous.

“Wanting more is so uncomfortable, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it.” You speak directly into my soul Mar. It’s nice to feel in good company.

Beautiful altar and reflections, Mar. Years ago, one of my teachers mentioned a thing that stuck even though I don't recall the exact wording. It was something around cultivating the perfect thirst. Not getting rid of thirst, just taking great care to call in and drink deeply from what truly nourishes and sustains us.

Btw, the last two episodes of Common Shapes were so resonant and helpful. Thank you.
