These words from you mean a lot Vanessa. I know already (from when I stepped away from my first much-loved & richly-connected career in HE at 40) how strangely quiet and empty my days may feel for a long time and that I won’t be fully using what’s best in me for a while either. But I trust/hope that in a year or so I will grow back into connection in a refreshed or wholly new form of service! In the meantime I will have more time to read your & others’ substack which is a fully good thing! Xx

Ah!!! This is magical, marvellous and inspiring news Tanya. After meeting you across the miles during the year of Hagitude I can say I feel huge excitement for you heading off down this new forested path into who knows where. Which Hag or Hags will be there to meet you?? I'm sensing a tingling of anticipation. Go well and may our paths cross again some day. It nearly Samhain here in NZ and the idea of you going deep into a new adventure is quite special to me. Blessed be! xx
