do the hard work

Today, I am grateful for the rain. I love the way it smells, the way it feels on my skin, and the way it brings the forest around me to life. 

I am learning how to release stubbornness that creates a false sense of security and lethargy, stubbornness that is holding me back from moving forward fearlessly. 

I accomplished prepping meals for the week and packing for a work trip. 

I delighted in a self-care Sunday, in snuggling up in my bed with a cup of tea and a good show, and in preparing for friends to visit.
