Day 30 of My Midlife Sabbatical

Today is the day I return home and I felt surprisingly heavy. Emotionally exhausted, unprepared and overwhelmed.

Day 27 & 28 of My Midlife Sabbatical

Day 27 was filled with work, internally and externally. As I am using my last few days in full panic mode, I have been blessed with amazing headphones that can shut out the whole world and keep me focused. This was necessary as my new upstairs neighbors are loud and I can be easily distracted….

Day 22 of My Midlife Sabbatical
