Ohhhh what a delicious and wonderful welcome back!! I was just laughing and cracking up through so much of the post. It flowed beautifully. All the small comments, details, jokes, just lovely. I always adore your POV and humor during the dark & hard moments and stories. The image of the truck moving your dad's house LOL! The police telling you they don't even investigate these things! The *redacted* images and words!! SO much to love and laugh about!!!!!!!!! Praying and hoping you will have the energy & wherewithal to keep posted. LOVE ALL OF IT!!!!!!!
I was so excited to see your name in my inbox this morning, it has been awhile. And now of course we know that you have so many good reasons why. So sorry to hear about all of it. Lots of life sucking events and ongoing struggles (just finding meds that work alone is exhausting!). Wishing you all the best with keeping going. Thanks for taking the time to draw your updates for us.
I love your drawings so much. They bring light when there's darkness, and that includes a big smile on my face. You're truly gifted and that includes many, many gifts ... some that you might not even be aware of. Many blessings to you and your dad 🙏 ✨️
Oh Mehda, this is SO big. I had actually found myself reading your blog from all those weeks ago *just* before this update came in, I was checking the dates and had an ominous feeling... thinking oh no, she's not come back even though she was only going away for a couple of weeks. I was really glad to receive this update. I feel like the approach you're taking is so correct; perhaps it's the only approach, but you're doing it with such grace and generosity. I love that you've discovered dividers and subheadings, lol, but I'm most delighted with that picture of your Dad, and the knowledge that that's where you're spending all your time. Re-prioritising. we should all do this, sooner rather than later. Sending so much love and strength to you inside the enormity of all of this. xx
Medha, I love the picture of you out with your dad. Your drawings are so sweet. They bring a tender reality to your heartbreaking words. Please care for yourself, whatever is going on today. I just now re-listened to your 1st podcast on Insight Timer, about the difference between self-improving as agression to self and the expansion of self love. It was so simple and good. Thank you. We are supported.
Laughter, tears, awe at your awesomeness, heartbreak, and heart overflowing.... and I'm only at the third drawing. You've been in my heart and my thoughts ❤️
Medha! So pleased to see you here - but goodness me, what a rollercoaster journey you're on - and I'm so sad that it's not the fun kind. Such a beautiful post, with your glorious art that says everything so absolutely perfectly.
Sending love and strength and strength and love both to you and your dad.
Hey, I was only thinking of you the other day and wondering when we’d hear from you again. Sorry you’re going through some tough times right now. You have such a fantastic attitude towards it all though, which is inspiring on so many levels. You totally rock! Much love to you and your dear dad right now x
I love that you share your stories and that you are taking a good break to spend time with your dad and yourself. Sending you and your dad lots of love xx
Medha -- Thanks for sharing what felt good to share. Milan Kundera passed away this week and it filled the literary space with reminders about his best known work "The Incredible Lightness of Being". Life can be heavy and challenging but...when he passed away I found this Cliff Notes description of what the story was about. "If, as Nietzsche believed, everything in life happens an infinite number of times, causing the “heaviest of burdens,” then a personal life in which everything happens only once loses its “weight” and significance—hence the “the unbearable lightness of being.” I am glad you have the priority and gift of just having lunch with your Dad. I also am glad your wonderful illustrations are back -- they have a lightness to them. See you when we see you.
Sending you so much love my friend. You've been on my mind and I figured there must be some big challenges. It's the time of transition right now and it is so not easy. Looking forward to hearing from you whenever it feels right! 💜
I was happy to see in my emails this morning a Great Things post. I've missed your drawings and writings. I understand the much needed break. As well as posting when you feel inspired to. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care Medha! I hope you have some exciting experiences & lasting memories with you dad!
How delightful to sip coffee and read another of your wonderful articles. Such a blend of raw honesty , humor, pain, and divine perspective. Keep shining your light! Quality over quantity- you're guided when and and what to share. The rest unfolds magically.
So, so incredibly sorry to hear about your dad. Sending strength your way to help navigate the challenges.
I emailed you recently about an offer you made awhile ago. No worries getting back to me. Take care.
