Field Notes on the Return
Short notes on body, energy, spirit, and returning to a life that feels alive.
My work as a scientist was a life of observation. I learned how to watch closely, notice what was present, pay attention to patterns, stay curious, and gather information without rushing to form a judgment.
These Field Notes are born from that same way of seeing and noticing.
These are born from the small observations from my path, gathered from lived experience, observing from the mind, body, energy and spiritual layers, while also living through motherhood, burnout to name a few. Where it gets a little wild and interesting is when I pull in Mother Earth and the waters, cycles, seasons, archetypes, nature and how these weave into the ordinary moments that invite us back into relationship with life.
These notes wander wherever my curiosity takes me.
The intent of these field notes are to document what I’ve noticed, these are not final answers. Observations I’ve gathered so far. Field notes from the path I have walked and continue to walk.
It’s not perfect, but it’s 100% me.
For now, I’m sharing these notes in case they resonate, and as a place where we can listen, reflect, and notice a little more of the humanness in each of us.
