Do your holidays leave you yearning to return to your routines or tired and jaded wishing they were longer. I love time away from routine days with no plans. Slower pace trying new things, and often reflecting on where I'm at with life. What's working and what's not. I took a week off work last week as I really wanted some spaciousness time to step back, rest and review when I'm at.

Lay it down

Lay it down and rest

Lay it down and grab the blanket

Recalibrate, process, allow.

Lay it down beautiful, lay it down
