✨Hi✨Here I am. ... #realtalk ... My presence here on the inter-web has been, well, different recently. Less. I haven’t felt quite as inspired to highlight my “groundhog-day-quarantine” life (lol) with so much going on in the world. ... I’ve been taking time to think, learn, unlearn, introspect and figure out my next steps. ... Lots of change. I’ve decided to not go back to practicing massage (yet) + my Vita Wellness massage studio is in a perilous state (even with PPP loan) + I’ve felt conflicted about continuing to promote my online education tools for massage therapists when so many of us aren’t even practicing + I got an incredible job + with the pandemic + protests + police brutality... there is A LOT to unpack and digest. ... I’m figuring out my voice in this new world. I will evolve, no doubt✨ ... Thanks for being here with me. I know there are so many ways to show up today and I’m confident I’ll find my way. ... 🙌Here’s to patience and putting one foot in front of the other.
