Week in Review
This week has left me speechless. I’m still processing, writing, and musing privately, so I’ll stick with the other pieces below and a brief recap.
Over the past seven days I savored an Artist’s Date at the National Gallery of Art with a girlfriend, spent hours writing and studying, headed to NYC for a panel about farm sanctuaries, lost myself in bookstores (the best therapy), had tea and lunch with friends in NYC, taught mindfulness, experienced deep grief, released my last doga video of the year, finished the book The Good, Good Pig (SO good!), collaborated with clients, finalized social work licensing paperwork, took yoga classes, met with our studio’s programming team, visited the dentist, hosted a friend at home over wine and olive tapenade, worked with my writing teacher, recorded and sent the bonus to HTC10 registrants (thank you!), and cried.
I’m off to Politics & Prose Bookstore before tonight’s writing class for more bibliotherapy, avocado toast, and green tea. Slow self-care is top priority right now. Wishing you a reflective, peaceful weekend surrounded by solace. Bisous. x
