    Hello Lovely Kathryn
    I think this may be my favourite video yet ❤
    On a platform that can sadly be largely vapid and disingenuous you are a beam of sunlight through the clouds. I am probably the 5 Millionth person to say how much I value and admire your authenticity and grace. I loved watching your eco-dyeing process: what a gentle, mindful way to begin to ground yourself in your new environment. The artworks with which you have lined your home are exquisite beyond words. If you ever make photos of them all into a book, I would definitely buy it!

    I became single after 37 years. I completely understand how you are feeling. All I can say is give yourself time to adjust to your new surroundings and to life on your own. This doesn't happen overnight. By adding your art quilt pieces and other well-loved art to your home will ease the change to your "new life". I enjoyed your walk through the woods collecting fallen leaves and I especially love how you ask permission first of the tree to take a leaf. Life is good. You just have to give yourself time to realize that.

    Dear Kathryn, There is a touching saying in Arabic: "Yam assel, yam bassel" - a day of honey, a day of onions. You are right to acknowledge both. It takes time to adjust to the new situation, and I think you're doing wonderfully. We are all here for you, when you want our company.
    I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the woods, and love the resulting ecoprint. So inspiring! And seeing so much of your beautiful work is a joy, as ever - and I can well imagine what a comfort it is to have all those memories and touchstones around you. Sending a big hug. ❤

    Kathryn, we are of an age, the difference being I became "single" 18 years ago after a 25 year relationship,. The transition is undoubtedly hard, as are all major life changes, but I hope with time you begin to feel the absolute freedom your new life offers. Definitely allow yourself to lean in to all the feelings you describe, knowing that they will pass, and life will offer up new and exciting opportunities and friendships. The Park (Home) is looking so wonderfully cozy with the addition of all your fabulous artworks, like walking into a warm hug. More joyous times will follow in your new setting, I feel sure. ♥

And thank you for being honest about your feelings. As I have said before, I was in the same position after 22 years of marriage. Feelings will flow through you like the clouds move in the sky. You will feel all of the feelings: sadness, grief, anger, joy, frustration, and on and on it goes. I found that my feelings could change in a matter of seconds or minutes and sometimes a feeling would linger for a long time. All of your feelings are valid and important. Let them flow. The hills and valleys will be high and deep in these early days and eventually the difference in height between the hills and the valleys will lessen. And they will all become manageable. The important things is: don't stuff the difficult emotions down inside your soul.... that will make them fester. Let them flow, feel them and let them go..... {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Kathryn }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

    It’s all good. Journaling and walking are failsafe therapies. Crying is also good because it’s exhausting so you can’t do it for long. I did this 27 years ago and again 3 years ago. The sense of failure is hard to shake, but there it is.
    I also believe all memory is a fiction. It cannot be anything else. But they are your memories and therefore completely authentic. Just be - we are human beings, not human doings.

    Hi, again, Kathryn. You kept me company this rainy and foggy Sunday afternoon, and I’ve been attentively listening to your words in the different videos. I strongly believe (from my own experience) that we must allow ourselves to grieve, to cry, to feel sad and angry and to feel disappointed and frustrated, as long as it takes, because if we don’t, those feelings get “stuck” within us and it’s much more difficult to get rid of them later.
    Your house is turning into an amazing art gallery. I’m sure that with time you’ll feel it as a true home 💙💛🤎🩷❤️💜🩵💚🩶🧡♥️

    First of all I just want to say how absolutely beautiful your work is and wonderful to see it making your new house your very personal home. Secondly, I loved going on a walk in the English wood with you , brought back so many happy childhood memories of playing in the woods and picking blackberries. Lastly, going through a break up after so many years takes a very long time to completely heal from and even after 21 years still little things trigger painful memories and surprise me as to how , after all this time I find tears welling up. So just to say it’s very natural to have good days and bad days and we are all here to support you and carry you when you need us.

    I can’t add anything else to all the wise words this comment list, I love your work, your home and your adorable pets. I agree with one of the comments that all the physical work and the discovery of your surroundings has filled your mind, so that settling now gives your mind time to dwell. Embrace the mindfulness, recognise your feelings and thoughts and let them move away. Grief has no rules, it will just be. It will settle. Much love. Xx

Sometimes I would love to live in a small space like yours. It looks very cosy and lovable. You have had an awful journey lately and I appreciate all that you shared. The eco dyeing is beautiful and I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Best wishes from Australia.❤

    You're going through monumental changes Kathryn. You're entitled to be sad. You're doing everything right, just give yourself time to process all the changes and keep creating your beautiful art. Thank you for the stroll in the woods, and for the review of ecoprinting, and for another glimpse of your beautiful creations hanging on the walls. There is one with a title that reminded me of a song by Leonard Cohen, Anthem. One line says "there is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". Looking forward to your next video. Big virtual hug! ❤

    It will be like a grieving process, it’s been a huge change in your life and your dreams for your future you once had. There will be a sea of emotions. You are essentially a positive person, but it’s important to acknowledge the hard emotions when they arise, and I’m sure others will watch your videos and find a lot of help in dealing with the unexpected twists and turns of fate. Your integrity and leap into a new life because the old was not the right path for you are inspirational. I hope your healing is gentle and the blessings keep coming your way.

Today, I think I will go out and gather a few leaves from all of my trees here and prepare them as you did and bury the cloth instead of boiling and see what nature gives me in return when I come back in May. Thanks for the guided tour of your home and woods.

    Loved seeing the new woods and all your beautiful stitchery art hanging on your walls. As for the surreal feeling, it’s to be expected at odd times. Some experts in processing emotions say to allow the wave of emotion to pass through you, feeling it fully then letting it pass out of you. I found that to be balderdash. Once I let it in, it tends to stay most unpleasantly. The one thing I do know after having some hard emotional times is that all things eventually pass, so you be you and get through it however you can! Know that you are cherished and supported by your stitching tribe. ❤

And I love how real you are, many will identify with these emotions, it's so human to feel vulnerable in times of change, but you're some strong and inspiring woman ! Take care...one foot in front of the other.

The eco-printing process was great. The reveal was the best part. When I saw your title and that is said you were turning you home into a gallery I was super excited to see your works displayed. I was very humbled to have my little piece shown. I love thinking about the journey it took to get to you. Thank you for the grand tour. I know you’re still getting settled in but what you have shown looks so homey and welcoming and cozy. You’ve done an excellent job of setting up a new home for yourself. You should be very proud of yourself. I wish you all the comfort your place portrays. 💜

    I love the eco dying. It turned out beautifully. I have tried tea and rose petals with varied results 😅. Now I must try oak leaves and rose leaves. That is what I have in abundance. I typically mordant with diluted soymilk, as I'm lazy... can leave it to soak overnight and use the next morning. No math involved for WOF 😂.
    Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home. It looks so cozy and snug ❤. And you are surrounded by all your beautiful art! So comforting.

    Dear Kathryn - these events are monumental in our lives, and we do go through periods of self reflection. The "what if....". "why didn't I see....". "if I had behaved differently would it have made a difference?" It's a natural process, trying to make sense of events. The one thing I came to eventually understand is that I got lost in the relationship, that if I had behaved differently I would not have been true to myself. It's essential to always try to be yourself, that's what makes us strong . If I had behaved in a different way, accepted that I wasn't priority in my husband's life and acted accordingly then I would have been living a lie. We finally parted, it took a while to let the negativity go. A relationship that is no longer working is an unwelcome drain on emotions. Love and hugs to you Kathryn, you'll find your path for your new life. E❤.
