An invitation to rest

Sending you a few words by Danna Faulds as a gift in the darkness

Thank you for reading Joyful + Nourishment, a weekly publication and an online community with conversations about our relationship with food, eating and our bodies.

I believe eating can be easy and that it is possible to find peace and freedom in how we relate to our bodies.

Let’s explore together in community. You deserve to have this too.

Currently all posts are free for all. If you want to support my work please consider a paid subscription or sharing my posts with anyone you think might benefit.

We are that the time of the shortest days and the longest nights here in the Northern Hemisphere. This can often be a time for rest and introspection so I wanted to share with you one of my favourite poems, and hope that it will nourish you in whatever way you need today.

It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that,

something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfection.

The harsh voice of judgment drops to a whisper and

I remember again that life isn’t a relay race; that we will all cross the finish line;

that waking up to life is what we were born for.

As many times as I forget, catch myself charging forward without even knowing where I’m going,

that many times I can make the choice to stop, to breathe, and be, and walk

slowly into the mystery.

Walk Slowly - By Danna Faulds
