Thank you for your words Kat. I feel it, the pull to different places as different expressions of myself and my family. Sometimes I get so wound up feeling like I need to be elsewhere home steading on a hectare in a food forest, but then I pull myself back to the now moment and remember that I have a beautiful home surrounded by community with our veggie garden outside. I keep thinking if I'm not relishing what I have, why would the universe give me more? There is something to be said though about that yearning for a homeland and this is what I dream of. A place where I can plant trees for my grandchildren and their children to enjoy. It feels like the world is teetering on the edge of total chaos sometimes though and I wonder if anywhere will truly feel safe and homelike. Thank you again for your article, it put words to many things I've felt but not been able to express.

Absolutley! That fine balance between allowing ourselves to receive the life we already live while space to dream of something else too XX

Oh my goodness... your words resonate so deeply for me. I’m on the first day of my bleed and wanted to curl up with a cup of lemon tea and book but instead picked up your newsletter... thank you thank you. A few tears and such feeling 🤍

Thank you Kat. Your words always seem to sum up much of my recent ponderings. It is deeply nourishing to read your reflections. We have a beautiful toddler and a home near Rockingham in WA. We have a developing permaculture garden and are close to the beach. This is the life I dreamed of. Some days I feel so content. Like I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Other days I long to be far away from here (especially with this political situation over the last few years). On some outback trail, back to my hometown down south or in some lush rainforest. This pull between being content with life as is, where is, and wondering how things would be if we lived elsewhere. I'm trying to just sit with the not knowing where we will have our future babies. What a ride! Thank you for what you are putting out into the world. So grateful. Zoe x

Yess! Oh how beautiful! A love by the sea with a permie garden! And the unknown of where the future babies will be... I tell myself my future children will guide me just like Rafi did!

I adore your long form writings Kat and understand where you are coming from. For myself, my needs are meet differently all over the world, I use to feel like it had to be one place for me, in fact I traveled the world looking for ‘home’. Now it’s in many places and in the hearts of many people who have my love all over, I just had to come to terms with that. I loved reading how this trip home is bringing new perspectives for you 🤍 love these photos too!! Just gorgeous, looks and sounds like the sweetest time home xx
