I'm sending good wishes and healing energy to you, as a heart attack survivor in 2011 I will tell you it takes rest and patience as you recover. You will regain your energy over time. My daily 2 mile walk was cut down to walking to the end of my driveway and back and then short walks down the block. it would be 6 months before I felt comfortable walking a mile. This Beltane I had my first cycle of Chemotherapy, so having my memories of past celebrations gave me joy. Among my Chemo bag of stuff I brought along my Herbcrafter,s Tarot which is one of my favorite decks since I first opened it. The universe will know when the Gaian Tarot will be released and I am sure it will be the perfect time. Blessing of the Beltane season and blessing to you as you recover.
Thank you, Deb. Hearing about your experience is really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I'm so sorry to hear about your current illness and I will send healing energy right back to you. Hooray for having the Herbcrafter's deck to nourish and sustain you. Thank you. πΈπΏπΈ
Sending strong healing thoughts this May Day -- truly, take good care of yourself. Your journal pages are so detailed -- amazing and I hope bring great feelings of comfort.

Oh yes I remember nature journaling in Taos! That ancient old cottonwood in the courtyard of Mabel Dodge Luhan House. I'll have to dig out that sketchbook too. Thank you Patience, appreciate your prayers and love π
Iβm glad to hear you are doing better. I will continue sending love and healing energy π₯° sad about the cards, but I keep my originals in my purse! Never know when one might need them. βΊοΈ
Blessings to you Joanna, I am sending healing vibes your way. You have such a beautiful soul. I hope that you have a quick recovery. Thank you for sharing your gifts, you inspire me.
So glad to know that you are home and recovering with another lesson of slowing down in patienceπ
The nature journal is beautiful. Iβm looking at it on my phone and will have to pull it up somewhere larger to really see the detail.
And I love hearing the song you posted. Iβm pretty sure that itβs the one that a friend and I sang with Ruth Barrett at a Circle event many years ago.
Oh isn't that wonderful, Amanda! I listened to dawn chorus music in different places where friends and family live. So cool. Thank you. I'm glad you liked the journal pages π
Beltane Blessings, Dear One. Or Bealtane as they say in Ireland. I celebrate that you are home, and being reminded to be gentle with yourself. Last night I wrote a poem about the Three of Swords. I'll email it. Continued healing flows to you β¨οΈ π

That folk song is pretty famous and has been for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if Ruth sang it back then. πΈ
Your exuberant journal pages from 2005 with mention of dawn chorus bring joy on this May Day! Continuing to send healing energy to you, Joanna.
A blog friend in Germany shared something with me recently. Dawn chorus all around the world!
