Thank you so much for sharing the raffle fundraiser Mary! Just three days left to buy tickets before the draw is made and the 55 winners are selected - eeep! Exciting!
I think you're the only writer who has taken photos of her bathroom and published them on your Substack. I admire you for that. For me too bathtub is relaxing place and bed is the writing place. I am subscribing you.
A holy place indeed! My mother spent whole days in the tub nurturing her soul (whilst surviving a violent marriage). I feel the same way you do 💗 Savored many hot bath healing ceremonies, with candles, rose petals and - singing! Love your photos, too.
Woah. Talk about synchronicity! I was diagnosed with (relatively low risk) melanoma yesterday and after lots of tears and phone calls with doctor’s offices over almost exactly 24 hours, I got into a hot bath and it was exactly what I needed. Like you said, sometimes a bath is just a bath but often it’s so much more.
“We are held as we learn to hold ourselves.” Held is my word of the year ❤️
What a gorgeous, comforting reflection! I can feel the warm water enveloping my body …. “I am not a self-improvement project or a problem to be solved. I am whole.” These words are such a good reminder.

Gorgeous writing! Bath is restorative!
Beautiful. I shared this for my mom, who battles breast cancer now. The bath has become a holy place for her.
Also, THAT QUOTE FROM Reymond! Saving that one. Thank you.
