I've found myself in the cycle of doing versus being lately. As I work to find my rhythm again, I'll be meditating on this question, "What is the good life to me?"

Always grateful for your contemplation and how it encourages me do the same.

It's such an ESSENTIAL question isn't it! Otherwise we get lost in other people's ideas of a life.

I am quite obsessed with you, Nadia. You are *divine* — and I mean that in the Wendy “🫳🏾 How you duuurn 🫳🏾” way and in the shining luminescence of the numinous way. Thank you for this ✨

"For far too long I thought a good life was one where people knew my name. Now I know that a good life is one where I know me" - hit me with it in the first sentence, Nadia!! And I LOVE your poem!

I relate so much. I used to do everything to make people love me. Lately I’m turning down invitations from those who drain my peace.

You’ve captured the essence of a life full of contradictions, where beauty and sorrow coexist, and that’s what makes it so achingly real. Loved the poem!
