Hey sis,
What has brought you joy recently? For me, it has been rediscovering a long-lost hobby. It is so easy to be on the go, all the time. Where even the down-times feel like a chore, and when you’re not working, you’re still working. Can you relate, sis? I am encouraging you to find ways to disconnect and truly find rest this week. Do something that lifts your spirit. You have earned it.
