Don't Forget to Do the Things That Feel like Breathing
Lately I’ve been forgetting to do the things that feel like breathing. Namely, writing and creating. Not for the blog. Not for a client. Not to sell. Just for me.
Recently, as I wandered through the “Writing” folder on my computer nostalgically, I found some screenshots from this little booklet I put together years ago. And I felt such a yearning to create that space for myself again.
We aren’t built to continuously push ourselves doing things that drain our energy. Even if we
mostly like most of the things we’re doing. There’s a difference between doing something as a means to and end and just doing something because it pours out of us.
And we are meant for that, too. To do things that just... pour out of us. What is like that for you? How can you do it more?

Our Babybay Cosleeper was right next to us — supporting us baby step by baby step on our newborn sleep journey.
