When I committed to writing this posts for December, I thought I understood the value of making space for yourself during a busy time. And I would have sworn that I knew the rewards of small exercise and meditation practices.
But obviously there are levels of understanding when it comes to this stuff because I am thrilled with how different I feel from doing (and writing about) these things daily.

As always, I wish you ease and space in your day.
And here’s a star for your efforts: ⭐️
Thank you for the Making Space posts. So far, I’ve done today’s meditation and yoga but I’ve happily collected every gold star going. Your calming, encouraging words have made this rough month a tiny bit easier.
I’m glad to be offering some comfort during a challenging time. Thank you for reading my posts.
⭐️ <- for your efforts to make space for yourself.
