I'm glad it resonated with you, Lauren. "It's okay to rest" is a message I have to keep giving my system - again and again. I'm thankful it's gotten easier to believe over the years.
All I see is Antonio Banderas, lol! What a gift to be able to look back at your younger self but without judgement. ….You must be so proud of your daughter, she’s so brave going abroad alone. What a great experience for her.
Yes, super proud of her! And also it was a very long ten months while she was away! She continues to have her eyes set on traveling. I believe Morocco is next up, to aid her Arabic fluency.
Yay for criticism turned to compassion! And I wonder why you ever thought a nap was a bad thing? Let’s unpack that sometime.
That made me laugh out loud, Shannon. I suppose naps represented the larger feeling that I was lazy, never doing enough!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I saw my younger self in those sentences you shared. We tried so very hard. It’s time to rest. ❤️

Ten months is a long time, but still amazing! Ooh Morocco has been on my bucket list for the longest time.
