My friends:

These are the alarms I get to silence as we go on spring break.

There will be much movement and stress while traveling in the coming week. I must call forth every skill for self-awareness, self-regulation, and effective communication I have ever learned. Oh and some self-compassion and good humor will also help.

But at least I can put down the phone for longer intervals, and enjoy some quality time with the family.

I’ve downloaded some new romance audiobooks and packed lots of pretty paper and colored pens. I will sleep in every day if possible. I’m ready!!

Wishing you all a beautiful, peaceful, and connecting start of spring. See you on the other side of jet lag!
