Have a Restful Weekend

What a week! What a week!

I’m choosing to end it fabulously, loudly, boldly and with intentional rest over the weekend. I will be taking walks, getting cuddles, creating art, writing, taking baths, journaling and sleeping.

I’ve had conversations with the women in my life over the last few days and we have all agreed that our mission from here on out is to rest, chill, block unwanted energy and preserve our sanity. We are reclaiming our time by keeping our words at work far and few between, and minding our business. We will be staying hydrated and not letting this assault take a toll on our mental health.

Any mental health expert would point you self-preservation when faced with repeated trauma. Woosah! I will no longer be exposing myself to the individuals who repeatedly cause me harm. We will be establishing clear boundaries, one that isn’t concerned with another’s feelings. We plan on creating community and space for us, and that will be into the foreseeable future.

This weekend, a colleague is hosting a Lasers and Feelings game with my daughters. I hope to also catch up on McSweeney’s Internet Tendencies. If satire is your thing, you are in the right place. I need some humor in my life so I might start another round of Psych just to see Shawn and my favorite character Gus solve crime.

I will leave you with with a little mom and daughter convo. My daughter got in the car at pick up and said "Mom, I have a posh word for proof."

I asked her, "What is it?"

She said, "Evidence." Lol. And with that, you have a good weekend.
