I love what you do to take care of yourself. You are a great role model!

Here is one that I also have found helpful…I am honest with myself and my friends in the moment. I might say to my visitors, I am feeling overwhelmed and could really use some help - would you mind helping me make this meal? Most guests delight at the chance to take part!

I’ve been in hermit mode since before the holidays. Business is slow due to the fire damage and road closures due to flooding risks and the mud and rock slides.

What I have found myself doing in focusing on the projects that work gets in the way of. My ringer is shut off on my phone before 9am and after 6pm.

My escape is to hike out in the wilderness but I miss those afternoon teas from when I lived in England.

I am wondering if you have an winter tea idea for some of us rural creatures…

I don’t just screen calls. I turn the phone completely OFF, and I take a power nap! A nap is my answer to every stress in life. *laughs*
