Weekend Wisdom: <\/strong>I choose to reject productivity culture and be gentle instead.<\/em><\/p>\n

Finding my way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last week has been a mishmash of leaves falling, working on my new book, going to bed really early, gentle pilates, slow walks, technical frustrations, ginger shots, lovely conversations, coffee in the afternoon sunshine, lots of Taylor Swift, Slackwater Pizza, podcast recording sessions<\/a>, plant care, sneaker shopping, Thanksgiving Google Docs and grocery lists, snail mail (thanks Haley), making gifts<\/a>, and most importantly, leaving lots of room in between everything. I used to forget to make space in between in the name of getting it all done. Now I know that the rest, breath, noticing and healing that happens in between means more to me and positively impacts how I feel, treat people and do my work. As the year gets fuller and fuller before it comes to an end, don’t forget to make space in between.<\/p>\n
