Taking Flight

I have an invitation for you to come along. Something is being built.

I am not quite ready to tell you exactly what is being built, but I promise, it’s worth the wait.

It’s always been my intention to make you, as a reader or participant in one of my gatherings, feel safe, welcome and special. And, there’s another thing about me. I’ve always believed in inclusion.

“Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone” – George Dei

So instead of tucking myself away until it’s all perfectly finished, I’d love you to join me, right here, as it unfolds. Not just to see the finished result, but to be part of the journey that gets there. Come along. I think you’re going to love where we’re headed.

I’ve always been a builder.

These photos - me as a little girl, hands deep in mud, completely lost in the serious business of making mud pies, and me as a young girl, maybe nine or ten, painting a shelf my dad helped me build - focused, a little stubborn, and likely delighted in the outcome. These images make me smile now, because I can see so clearly that this is simply who I am. Making things, building things, bringing something new into the world. It’s in my DNA.

And right now, I’m in full building mode.

So, in May, things will look a little different. I won’t be publishing the magazine, or Nestled in the Pause newsletters, and the Kitchen Table gathering is taking a pause. If there’s a theme for May at all, it’s simply this: refreshing, remodelling, refinishing. Any of those words will work.

What I will be doing is showing up for at least one live creative gathering. Details coming soon.

I hope you’ll travel along with me and enjoy the journey!

Warmly,
Kathy

P.S. Hit Leave a comment and tell me, are you in the middle of building something too? Maybe a garden or summer holiday plans. I’d genuinely love to know.

If you feel moved, I’d be grateful if you like this post with a ❤️, share a thought in the comments, buy me a coffee, or pass it along to someone who might enjoy a pause. Each small gesture helps this quiet space reach others who may need it.
