So much has been going on for me in the past six months that I literally cannot process it all and have not processed it all. June SAW just ended so I am rather in my post-party haze, but also have a couple more mountains to climb in June before I can truly sit back and begin to reflect on all the ways in which my life has transformed.

July is what I am currently focused on.

July promises to be all about space, time, meditation, yoga, contemplation and rest. It will also provide the quiet and daily rhythm I need to get back into my groove with writing and sharing bits and bobs (and dogs) of my life.

One of my most favorite SAW attendees came up to me in the dining hall on the last morning and said how she checks this blog each morning hoping for a post and I was mortified and thought 'oh noooooooooooo'--- I am so sorry.

Yes, I want to share. Yes, I have much to share-- but holy hell, my world just got dropped into some kind of centrifuge and I only just now was able to yank the power cord out of the outlet.

One thing I should tell you is that this blog, bluepoppy, is definitely going to be shuttered for all time this month. I do have plans to open a new blog under a different name this summer.

It will still be me, but I need to have a new blog in order to encompass and relate to the changes that have occurred. Not so much a snake shedding her skin, or a hermit crab changing house-- more like a new nest for a new season. So, if you want me to give you a heads up and send you a link to it-- simply email me at bpoppy AT gmail DOT com and let me know, and I shall.

Meantime, do whatever you can to feel good.

My latest theory is that that's ALL we're really supposed to be doing and that if each human could just take responsibility for their well-being, a huge sigh of relief would wave across the planet.

Of course, I'm also sleep-deprived, eating ice cream for breakfast and prone to weeping at how beautiful some moths are-- so you might want to take my latest theory with a grain of salt.

Gorgeous photos. Yes, YES - please count me in. Couldn't bear the thought of not seeing you and the Brombies... Wishing you some well-earned, peace and quiet with tall, cool drinks, a hammock in the shade and your pack lolling happily by your side in the green summer grass.
