Today I will dare to rest and not feel guilty about it
Today I will dare to go to the art museum
Today I will dare to be nicer to myself and not over analyze every other sentence I said while I was teaching yesterday
Today I will dare to rest, which does not mean stillness
It means the motion is paced for serenity
It is following momentum without urgency
May your day be full of ease, for ease is the ultimate sibling of rest

Sam and Kate are staring at me telling me I am not supposed to be working today, as a worker amongst workers I think a lot about working (wrote this book about it) and taking breaks, and resting. Yet I swim in the discipline of - today is Monday, and may I take Tuesday so sweetly off. The swirl of being your own boss, how to talk to that boss, how to earn, I am thinking about so many things. The luxury of loving my work, but the exhaustion of labor. The gratitude to all whose day off today is of endless value, may you be seen and held in all of it. Wednesday I have an interview coming out with Nicole Antoinette all about earning and money and I look forward to sharing it - check out the whole season here
