Today is the day I return home and I felt surprisingly heavy. Emotionally exhausted, unprepared and overwhelmed. My thoughtful husband had anticipated this being a little harder for me and so he came up with a plan to give me an inspirational space to hang out, I could enjoy the city, it views from the…

Day 24 of My Midlife Sabbatical
Besides traditional talk therapy, I have found over the years a couple of places where I let off steam. Sometimes I’ve felt emotional afterwards as my body and mind needed it so bad. I’ve already mentioned zumba being like therapy to me and today I was challenged here. As I walked into class, the person…
Day 23 of My Midlife Sabbatical
Today I have a chiropractic appointment. I have learned so much about my body and how to keep it away from potential injuries. It’s been so beneficial and different than I expected so I share a little of that here. I also share a very limited knowledge, tutorial on how to use make up on…
Day 18 of My Midlife Sabbatical
Today’s Gonna Be A Good Day. I spent the night with Boyd which I needed so badly but it did mean my night time plans went out the window. No big deal this time and I had my morning routine ready to go when I got up so I knew it would be a good…
Day 14 of My Midlife Sabbatical
It’s been 2 whole weeks since I left my home. 14 nights alone in a bed. Time has flown and time has dragged at the same time but I’m getting my routines in place and in this video I share some things I’ve learned about myself and my needs. Take a little behind the scenes…
Day 13 of my Midlife Sabbatical
I hate being sick and I hate taking medicine but it turns out that getting outside can really lift my mood. Being alone is taking a toll so I took a sneaky trip home to feel some human connection. It didn’t go well and I ended up feeling pretty disappointed. It’s called “the work” for…
Day 12 of My Midlife Sabbatical
Now that I’m so sick, completely grounded and quarantined in my Dungeon, see how my perfect little grey space suddenly went dark? well, I do a little self care that turns into a story time from my past. Who knew I was a natural brunette? Who knew I was a professional hairdresser, many moons ago?…
Day 10 & 11 of My Midlife Sabbatical
After a late wake up and a long day at work, I am crashing. I caught a pretty nasty flu that knocked me out and I realized, if I was at home, I’d be worried about everyone catching it but I’d still be there with company. Being alone when you’re sick is another story…
Day 9 of My Midlife Sabbatical
Today I’m sharing my morning routine. It’s amazing that in just 9 days I have finally left the phone alone. I’m amazed at how quickly I switched that phone addiction and fomo has switched into me wanting to do my “A.M. Boost” as I’m calling it. My first, 30 minutes of my day is spent…
Day 2 of My Midlife Sabatical
I just watched a little documentary on Greta Thunberg and she wisely said: “the first step is the hardest but once you’ve taken it, the second is easier, then you have movement” so here I am in a forward movement, however slow it may be. Day 2. It’s my first full day where I have…
