OMG EFF YES! thank you for this. I'm a mom, but I'm in that weird "after" space where my children are adults. They are living good lives, but I can't help but feel a loss, an unmooring, a "who am I now?" despite my fight to, as you said, "become ourselves." I thought I had that together...LOL. I knew, but it's been changing. I feel it all--the collective change, the personal change, and the "strange power." Thank you for putting into words what I've been unable to. Thank you for being another priestess in my life.
This is so true. I'm a mum, and have only started to feel this potency since having my first child. Yet, all people want to 'see' of me is what is easy to see, the mum, the business owner, the friend, not the depths that lie underneath.
Thank you for these life-giving, soul-restoring words. I'm saving this for the many, many days ahead when I'll need to come back to this post. Thank you, with all my heart.

Thank YOU for this, and for all you do to build a better world. xx
Thank you, Ellie. Feeling seen in ways that matter enough to make me shed a tear.
I see you, priestess xxx
Oh, Ellie. I can’t tell you how much this means to me. Just tears and gratitude. Thank you.
Was thinking of you so much when I wrote it, Kelly. xx
