Rachel BrennanGet out of bed
One leg after the other
Feel the sunshine
Thank you earth mother
Move my body
Energy rediscovered
Indulge in good food
Dopamine wonders
Learn something novel
A new lens uncovered
Protect my peace
If needed from others
Feel connected
With another
Rest and reflect
A time to uncover
Close my eyes and know
With love,

Karissa HowdenI’ve never went to pastry school
But a baker I am,
Maybe one day, I’ll add to the list-

And adequate sleep too.
Slow down activities-
long walks, sipping coffee, stretching,
just to name a few.
Fresh baked bread more often than not
Me? Who would’ve ever thought.
Every day I change,
Old me would think it’s so strange.
We’re not chasing the money or the beers
Just staying aligned despite any fears.
Success to me looks different now-
I’m grateful for those long, difficult, learning years.Voting is closed
