Rest, Reset, and Reignite

The holidays were…interesting. They kicked off with—surprise, surprise—yet another illness for my daughter and me. A common refrain for the past four months!

As so often happens with an illness, goals and best intentions went out the window and I was forced to embrace my inner couch potato.. Even after the fevers subsided, I still needed time to rest and reset—Netflix and chill, yes, but also Max and chill… and Apple and chill! Thanks to the support of my family, I was able to focus on nourishing my body with good food, diving into books, and letting myself only run the essential systems.

(What a privilege. I’m acutely aware that not everyone has the luxury to take a step back and rest like that.)
