This post fed my soul. What a beautiful, honest, engaging read. There are so many of us who feel connected to you and the way you think, live, write...

To be honest, I have been considering letting my subscription here lapse this year, as I just welcomed my first baby to our family, am figuring out how to get the hang of new rhythms, have been considering leaving my job, thinking about how to most intentionally spend our money...but after reading a post like this, I feel deeply reminded why I subscribe in the first place. Why I not only follow you but also choose to support your work on a deeper level. It's important work, and it inspires me in big ways. I want to stay :)

Thank you for sharing the life you live, Shaye. The world may keep worlding, but I'm glad the Elliotts keep Elliotting too!

Beautiful, honest, intimate. I adore the "realness" of how you write Shaye and in the way you express concerns and observations of this big, wide, crazy world that can now enter our own space at a click or swipe of our fingertips. Finally I find how you always suggest a way to navigate or, at the very least, find some peace from the chaos most comforting. You nourish with words as well as food. Thankyou. X

Thanks for sharing this post. I loved these words. “To be in the garden is to walk through a living museum of my favorite painter.” I love to paint my visions of the garden.
