I don’t know, y’all. I’m not feeling very Woo today. Yeah I’ve been reading good books and watching cool stuff. I’ve made some bread and I’ve done some projects. But everything is sort of … dulled. Maybe it just that crowing about a new lotion I like seems pretty banal given the world and all.*

We've been listening to music almost nonstop. Tonight we introduced the kids to CCR, Fleetwood Mac, and The Doors. We live in the country and it's normally quiet, but it seems more quiet if that makes sense.
I had forgotten how loud the birds are in the springtime, and since the two highways I live between have been pretty quiet, I've gotten to hear ALL the birds ALL the time! It's quite lovely and soothing. My nine month old puppy is also very interested in the birds, but not for the same reasons, I think...
I think we need Woo Wednesday more than ever! Maybe the "woo" isn't a product, but a feeling. Since my kids will be out of school for a while, my woo would be the sheer number of companies and groups who are stepping up to help. We've been taking online art classes, have toured a police station, did taekwondo... Teachers have sent videos to the kids, given us resources for at home, and are busy figuring out how to navigate digital learning. Jennifer Weiner did an online book group thru Facebook live last night and I haven't laughed that much in a while. There have been so many GOOD things. I know my situation is not everyones (because I am fortunate enough to not work and be able to take care of/entertain the kids). But, if there is any good out there, it's that the community has stepped up to provide a level of normalcy in the midst of the crazy. That's my "woo."
I'm still adjusting to having moved to a rural community so the sounds of spring here would be new to me no matter what, but I'm trying to make sure I don't ignore them by being too busy inside my head. Being present in this moment helps me to connect with the truth that in this moment I am fine, my elderly mom I live with is fine, my husband is fine. I remind myself daily that not being able to tell the future is no different today than it was six months ago, it's just bothering me more today. Because it is Woo Wednesday, I did a three card layout with one of my most beautiful decks (the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law) and was again reminded that I am well and hopeful and connected to so many wonderful people even during this time of social distancing, and the only thing in the way of me being in greater alignment with what the Universal clearly wants for me, is my insistence on holding on to old thoughts and beliefs that limit me. xoxo
