Title - Consider

There is this part of me that loves the idea of pausing to consider.

When this act of self care is relentlessly practiced, there are all kinds of layers that can be uncovered.

If you too are looking for pieces & practices that make relentless self care simple, speedy, and sustainable – I hope you will Start Here.

See what happens when you pause to consider, and then jot it down.

Practice Pause: Taking a minute for yourself can make the space for disconcerting sensations, if you find yourself in any discomfort, please reach out – to dear one, to a professional, to me.

It may feel like it, but you are not alone and you deserve to heal hurts. Start today with some self care – if you are able.

I’m Kristi, a pretty typical gal who was just recently told by a dear friend that I’m in midlife. I was shocked.

Then I looked around at my daughters (9 and 6), my husband (of more years than I can easily recall), and my accomplishments (not as many as I’d like) and found myself wondering if this is all that I am. It’s certainly not all I intended to be.

All this internal turmoil seemed pretty classic for this season in life, but then the pandemic hit and those inside voices just got louder and more unruly.
