As a fellow Fosterite, I laughed out loud when I read "Instead of consulting with a nutritionist, I signed up to .... Foster" 😂 I reckon a lot of writers can relate.
Marian, you’re an excellent storyteller. Such engaging writing! I really relate to how you’re exploring your intuition, especially this part:
“But in those instances, I shove intuition aside and see what my brain thinks. Invariably my head tells my gut, no, you’re wrong.”
In the last year or so, I’ve noticed the same pattern where sometimes I’ll catch myself overriding my gut/intuition, think I’m in the clear, and then find my body screaming at me in some creative way to pay attention. It’s been challenging to navigate, but I’m finally accepting how important it is, too.
Excited to read more about your journey on this subject!
PS it’s great to meet a fellow Oregonian through Foster--let me know if you’re ever in Portland :)
Thanks, Indigo. What kind words. And thanks for reminding me that you're in Portland. It'd be great to do a writing meet-up! Same if you're ever in Bend.
