Ooh “resting without earning it” is one I have really been drawn to this past week. My body demanded it. I have had to fight for it from my kids, husband, other family.
I have been thinking about your "fallow" poem for some time now and are with you in these sentiments as well... it's hard not to feel the pressure to produce. Thank you for sharing your "permission to rest." I am also trying to be kinder and braver to myself in that regard. Your words encourage me. 💙
Hey Aly, it's so fitting that I came here feeling kinda guilty like I'd been behind on catching up with your posts (and as I mentioned before, the others' in our mastermind), only to find an invitation to take up space, choose ease. This is lovely. I'm so glad you're able to name this for yourself and also share permission and encouragement for others to do the same. <3
Feeling this and grateful for your words and voice.

Adopting this mantra and giving it Post-it Status. Have you read Erin Loechner’s Chasing Slow?
Love this (and thanks for the shout-out)! Cheers to rest!

Yes, this resonates! Resting without earning it is the part that stuck out to me, and something I'm in the process of learning how to do.
