I love those pics! 🦊🧡. When I left FL to return to my homebase of Pa, I felt at the time it was what I had to do. I realize it was the absolute wrong thing to have done, but as much as I tried to get back to FL, it never worked out. As soon as I focused on living in PA, things fell into place. I haven't really been able to make peace with it as the person I was with then passed away suddenly and I never got to see him again. So I'm not sure I can ever make peace with my decision, at least for now.

I had a similar experience e moving from New Hampshire to the south. I lost my dear friends and a community that supported me. I have t been able to find that yet. These online spaces help but it’s not the same. ❤️

I agree, they do help. I like that it's a safe space to write out things that I may not say to my friends as some I think are sick of me talking about it. Love Susannah's prompts to get us to talk it out. 🩷

Thank you love ❤️ It was hard emotionally but also easy because I knew it was right xo

Gorgeous and treasured photos. Just because it's right doesn't make it easy does it. I immediately thought of an ex boyfriend 28 years ago who I was crazy for but didn't treat me well. I could have got mad and upset but the last time I saw him (we happened to walk across a field towards each other at a car show when I'd tried to avoid him, what were the odds!) I held my head high and just wished him well. I'm proud of that young girl for not showing her feelings to him and knowing her worth.

Hi Susannah,

I have followed you foreverrrrr. Way before Substack but anyway, i just subscribed for the annual plan for the first time. Will i automatically receive information on your 2 upcoming classes?

Thanks for your writing and creating this Joy club. i want to encourage joy in my life, it feels essential for the times we are in, both in the US and around the world. And I don’t think we are very skilled at creating and feeling joy. What you are doing has a huge impact!!!

Thank you so much for sharing the foxes and your love for them. I so adore every single photo. I can only imagine how wrenching it must have been to deactivate their dens, even knowing it was the right thing to do. You are a kind and brave soul. Sending you hugs from across the pond.

It is a huge act of love to do something like this - it hurts your heart but it is the best thing for them. I have thoroughly enjoyed all your fox posts and photos over the last few years. I remember the year of seven babies. That was so magical! Thank you for sharing them with us. I previously lived in a wonderful apartment overlooking the ocean. I had whales and dolphins in my “backyard.” Over the years the cliff started to erode, and one day we were evacuated. It was heartbreaking to leave all that, but I found a wonderful duplex with a nice yard and a lot of birds. I now live two blocks from the ocean so I still can see the sea life. And I discovered that you really can create nature anywhere. Sending all best wishes to you in your new home! 💚
