As much as I love my life during the garden/work season in the San Juans, I felt a bit of a disconnect there this year. I’m sure there are lots of contributing factors…some I am aware of and some that I haven’t been able to grasp.
One factor that I was able to wrap my head around was feeling detached from my body. I spend many months of the year in Washington trying to stay warm and with each layer of clothing I needed this year, the less I felt comfortable with my body. If I never see it or feel it’s true shape, then how can it be real? How can I be connected to it?
This leads me to one of the many reasons why I love being in southern Baja…the changing of the seasonal costume. I no longer am rockin around in workwear pants and ten extra layers. I get to put on dresses and all things flow-y. The sun keeps me warm and I can spend chunks of the day living in a swimsuit.
And this all helps me in reconnecting with my body. It helps to make me feel beautiful which in turn guides me further down the path to finding a bit more self love.
