Ten years ago today…we were waiting for Lulu.
🌌
According to her due date she was still four weeks away but I knew she’d be here sooner…and today I had fun reflecting, that a decade ago, in a week from now, Lulu would arrive.
🌌
Simultaneously, Dot, Lulu’s great grandmother, my divine Nan, had us convinced she was leaving earth side [spoiler: we were thankful that she treated us to nine, full, divine more years] a lot was going on, we had a one year old and Silas had just celebrated his 30th birthday.
🌌
While we knew life was about to get more full, we were pretty equip at going with the flow. It feels indulgent to caption this little pic and I’m not even sure what I’m trying to articulate…today, this picture captured, two lovely children…growing more and more into themselves everyday and I’m so excited to wish Lulu a happy number ten next week, I’m delighted to be Eden and Lucy’s Mum AND I’m undeniably chuffed to be parenting them with Silas ❤️🌌

Poem ♾️ 💕 #highlightreel #poem #thenextbestthing #january #withkatedarnell #reels #alchemy

So many of the poems from The Next Best Thing have been nestled on scraps of paper or in my phone notes for many years! In 2022 we discovered a family of Wood ducks, the ducklings had been separated from Mumma Duck and had presented themselves at our back door at our beautiful farm-house home under the fig tree - fortunately we were able to get most of them back to their mum but one got left behind and ended up at ours again 😔 that evening I learnt that when separated they will fret and stress and without Mumma - die. At the time I was still sorting Womb Hymn and there was something equally heart stabbing and healing about this discovery and experience of love and loss 🌞 Ducks play a symbolic part in my world - there are little ducks shared throughout my recent publication of The Next Best Thing symbolizing, love, renewal and the beginning of fresh chapters! Are you enjoying your copy of The Next Best Thing? #withkatedarnell #reels #woodducks #thenextbestthing #alchemy

Background quack thanks to #lulubethlove
