i took the break

Like many of you, my life dramatically changed in the last few months and upon reflection, more then I really noticed when it was in the thick of all the changing. It changed and it changed hard.

The worst part? In my mind, I was the one who was supposed to have all the answers, I was the one who was supposed to be able to say some inspiring words strung together in pretty font and that could pass along inspiration to those who read it. I mean, the pretty font and the pretty words could do that right?

Funny enough, I didn’t have any words to say.

Like many of us, I was taking on bigger projects with this new found “free time” (we’ll get to what a falsehood that was later) and I was determined to be grounded and productive in the midst of all the chaos.

Ha. What a joke.

I wasn’t grounded, I didn’t have the pretty words, I wasn’t able to be productive. All I was able to do was survive.

AND I learnt this beautiful lesson in that, it was OK that all I was doing was surviving. I didn’t always have to thrive, I didn’t always have to tie my worth with that I was accomplishing at any given time.

With all of that being said, I’m back. I’m here. I don’t have all the answers and I’ll step in anyway. I’m ready for the check-ins, to share how I incorporate wellness into my life and to provide a space where hopefully, even when you feel like you’re just surviving that survival matters. You matter.
