Full Cycle
I’ve been dipping my toes in astrology lately. Or rather I should say that my Instagram algorithm has chucked me straight into the deep end of the woo world and astrology features heavily in my feed (yes, I know I need to get off social media. Working on that.)
Apparently today is an auspicious day for people with my birth chart. One creator was quite insistent that this good luck was connected to May of 2018. “What happened in May of 2018? Your next chapter is going to be a continuation of that.”
This happened. This blog. Well, kinda.
In May of 2018 I built a website which, in a post surgical, pain med induced haze I named The Simple Chicken.“Because I will likely be too chicken to ever post anything on it,” I told my husband. This proved true until September of that year when I finally started the blog.
Writing certainly hasn’t been consistent. The last 8 years have thrown so many curve balls I’m amazed I managed to keep up the domain, let alone do anything else with it. But somehow it is still here, and I have over 200 pages from that phase of my life, from my son’s early childhood, from the pandemic, and job changes, and diagnoses. The pages only show the tip of the iceberg, but I’m still glad I have the receipts.
So. If the next chapter somehow builds off of The Simple Chicken? I’m here for that.
