I am the Queen Bee of self-care this week hunnay! Since last Tuesday, I have been in North Carolina visiting my mother, enjoying a long break from work and the crowded feeling of living in a highly populated city. Here, I’ve been spending lots of time going for jogs that aren’t rushed because I need to start my workday, sitting outside watching Rae run in the grass (not at all stressed about her falling on concrete), dipping my feet in the pool, hiking, tending to the yard, drinking wine and just enjoying every minute of this time of stillness. Self-care this week is saying YES to vacation days, YES to me time and YES to just being and enjoying wherever the day leads me.
And it’s led me to some great sights and moments so far. Here’s one of my favorites of the week:
Where in North Carolina? I grew up in New Bern and went to college near Asheville. Glad you’re taking time for you!
Winston-Salem. I love the pace of NC, not too slow, but an easier pace than DC right now.
