Some of the ways I care for myself are.. to move daily (walking, and when possible, yoga), finding balance (like enjoying conversations with friends, also time alone); and engaging in creative work with some tangible outputs.
I feel gratitude for … my husband and home in Virginia.
I savor … delicious & nutritious food, time in nature, learning about healthful wellbeing; dancing, biking, journaling and travel.
