The holidays have been full of family time.
Instead of being on my phone, I found myself working on a face.
Getting better at sketching faces has been a goal of mine, as I want to draw portraits.
I drew this one yesterday.
Drawing gave me a way to stay quiet and present in the room.
No one asked what I was doing.
It offered me a little pocket of space while still being part of the conversation.
Sometimes we just need to do our own thing.
When you’re a mom,
moving, hosting, tending to everyone
it’s a gift to slip into moments of slow-flow.
Small pauses that let you breathe, feel, and simply be.
Have you taken time for yourself today?
