Ep. 205 | How to Enjoy Time Alone When You Didn't Choose It

I was in North Carolina watching a friend's dog, and my mom was supposed to come stay with me for the week. Then she got the stomach flu. I was so bummed, and I told my friend Michelle I was stuck in the monastery. Michelle has two kids and a life so full I get tired watching her Instagram stories, and she said, "Oh my God. What I wouldn't do for four days alone."  So I used the monastery. I journaled, I did a full moon ritual, I took a bath in the middle of the afternoon, and a couple of days I did nothing at all on purpose. I did what Michelle would do with four days alone.  Today's reading is from Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh: "Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone."  This is an episode about the difference between solitude you chose and solitude that got handed to you, and how to sign for a week you didn't order.  Question to carry into your day: What are you enduring right now that you haven't decided what it's for?  Want to work together?
