I also started a new in‑person class here in my little town, which felt really good. I’ve been craving some face‑to‑face community, and I think this will help scratch that itch. The goat babies are maturing right along, and before long the boys will be off to their new home. I’m keeping one very handsome buck and the little doeling. The other boys will be donated to our community...]]></description><link>https://www.whorledleaf.com/post/sunday-status-5-17-26</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0a48408ba6aec9a80e7b23</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2026 23:02:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1a910_33f47073d6ae4052b0ba59f9a7ed6dc5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[ Sunday Check‑In Pranayama  5/10/26]]></title><description><![CDATA[This week has been an intentional exploration of how I use my time. I’ve been leaning into the law of three — active, passive, and neutral — learning, outputting, and reflective moments. I’ve noticed myself tipping into too much output lately, and I’m working on aligning my days so I have more space for study, as well as the neutral, mindless moments that allow new ideas to drift in… like gardening, tending to the critters, or simply being outside. I’ve shared before that to receive creative...]]></description><link>https://www.whorledleaf.com/post/sunday-check-in-pranayama-5-10-26</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a012d67b1ac8cd94fa7e935</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 02:08:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1a910_f541a496dbb04c6eaf83c07a37ca655e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sunday Check‑In 5/3/26]]></title><description><![CDATA[(The full YouTube video is linked below, where I answer these questions in depth and share a mini art talk at the end.)

Another busy week—and a long night! My last pregnant goat, Iris, finally had her kids. Or should I say kid. At around midnight, she delivered a massive buckling that clearly didn’t want to come out! Looking at his size, I’m still not sure how he fit, but I am so grateful that both mom and baby are doing well this morning.

Dreams seem to have the uncanny ability to show us exactly what the problem is, even when we actively may try to dismiss it in waking life. This is neither good nor bad; it's the truth. You don’t have to have PTSD or even have to have a dream be scary to have your internal world reflected at you.

In my opinion, dreams are multi-layered. They range from simple daily processing and wish fulfillment to prophetic insights and the exploration of unconscious desires. I’ve found that the more you honor your dreams in waking life, the richer your "dream landscape" becomes. This practice eventually allows you to direct them with intention or even engage in conscious...]]></description><link>https://www.whorledleaf.com/post/dreams-and-the-energetics-of-a-yoga-flow-weekly-questions-3-8-26</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b5ba0c5f6a1e874c57ae37</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 19:54:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1a910_b292d12a67ba43ceaeeca94acbf5a346~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding your sparkle in the Magical &#38; Diving into Authenticity]]></title><description><![CDATA[Questions answered for this week- 1) I feel blah about life. How do you recommend getting my sparkle back? I eat well and exercise, there just seems to be no joy? I recommend bringing the magic back in. Think when we were young and the whole world had a beautiful mysterious quality to it, perhaps even a lot of boredom before the screens existed, at least in my time. The world was full of imagination and dreams.

All the little ingrained beliefs that we tell ourselves on a daily basis. Before we dive in, let’s also imagine that our individual reality answers all the questions we ask all the time. If we believe that, then we can also realize how detrimental some of the things we repeat to ourselves truly are. Questions like Why am I so lonely? Why doesn’t anyone like me? Why can’t I do anything right? Even statements like I’m so tired, I’m depressed, I don’t feel...]]></description><link>https://www.whorledleaf.com/post/you-don-t-have-to-stay-stuck-in-scarcity</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ab0ebbd66894c6d6f4196b</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:31:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a1a910_d9c6ea72edac488aabee4c091f9de31f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elusive Feelings]]></title><description><![CDATA[A secret of mine. I have horrible boundaries. Something I have been working on, well, since AA 13 years ago, because before that, I didn't even know there was a problem. Before that, I had limited access to my feelings unless it was self-loathing, irritation (with everything), and crippling anxiety. The good times were a blur in the pursuit of more good times. Relationships failed due to a lack of love. It just never was enough.
