Tuesday Thoughts
For most of you, it's the last week before holiday break, and this break has been a long time coming.
In case you need to hear this: You have permission to rest. You are not responsible for fixing everything that is broken. You do not have to try to make everyone happy.
Take a moment (or two) and breathe. Be still. Relax. Replenish your store of energy. Let go. Practice radical self care.
Enjoy the holidays!
