I really had the best intentions to write more in September and now I find myself at the end of the month having gotten nowhere. There are several drafts in the works that now feel like they’ve missed their window and I’m feeling a little less inspired to create if I’m being perfectly honest. Creativity ebbs and flows for me and it is all too easy to get bogged down by the social media algorithms and a busier than normal schedule. Last week and the first half of this one have been the busiest workwise. Baby has entered another leap and has been sleeping a lot less during the day. And it feels like we’ve been running from one thing to the next trying to please everyone but ourselves.

This week I am forcing myself to slow down and focus on things that bring me joy to recharge a bit. I am eating an apple cider donut as I type this so we are off to a good start already. (My fave treat this time of year!!)

Just a friendly reminder that it is perfectly okay to slow down and take a break when you need one and to always prioritize taking care of yourself.
