Letting Go of What We Can’t Control — Field Notes with Rachel Dickson
|
01/22/26 Greetings Wildhearted Friends! Here we go...it’s threatening winter weather season. And as a major winter weather event heads across the land, here comes the next big reminder of how much we rely upon power and water sources for heat and survival. Letting go of the known. It’s pivot time. It’s shift into preparedness and planning time. And then it’s don’t let your mind spiral into worse case scenario time. Be gentle with your feelings and your heart. We know worse case scenario here in WNC all too well. As do other parts of the country ravaged by wildfires and other natural disasters. So here we go...into another potential...not-really-sure-how-this-may-play-out weather event. I just wanted to say...I’m right there with you. If power goes out...pretty much we go off grid and in many cases we go communication dark as internet and cell service wanes. Total discomfort zone land. Conveniences go out the window...and well...we land in survival mode. So I’m saying this to myself as much as to the next person...be gentle and kind with yourself. Slow down. Be present. Probably the best thing is if we can’t access facebook we won’t be drilled with all the drama and hype and such. Things will slow down just because they have to. This too shall pass. This is the way. Wild-Heart Practice of the Week:“Pause and Notice”Take a few moments today to notice what you can control and what you cannot. Wildhearted Gathering Update: ReWeaving: Mending the Divide between Soul-Self and Earth-Self

4/15/26 Hello Wild Souls, Song-Carriers, Quiet Listeners, and Those Tuning Themselves to What Matters! Image by Kev from Pixabay.com Happy to declare—April is officially my favorite month of the year. Why? Yesterday (and a few days before that), I was serenaded by a Carolina Wren. He perched himself on the top railing of my deck and sang at the top of his lungs. It was mesmerizing… watching the soft feathers on his throat trilling as he called out.He’d sing—then pause, as if listening.Then...
4/1/26 Greetings Wild-Hearted Friends, Deep Feelers, Gentle Healers, and Sacred Pausers. My life completely changed forever last week. On Wednesday, Pieces and Willis both crossed over. I have seen this coming for months as they were both 15 years old….so I did have time to prepare myself. But some things you just can’t prepare for...some things you just have to wing on the fly. I shared more of their story—and some of my favorite photos—here if you’d like to see:...
3/18/26 Greetings Wildhearted Wanderers, Hope-Dealers, Bridge-Builders and Bringers of Light! I’m going to blame homeschooling. Yep. My junior and senior years of high school, I was homeschooled. And it was during those years that I realized something important: once I finished the required coursework each day, I was free to study what truly fascinated me. Ahhhh… exploration! The problem was, back then, there was no internet and resources were scarce. Mostly, it was the Encyclopedia...
