Over the next few days we will say goodbye and lay my great uncle to rest. I take comfort in the fact that he is at peace and that his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of his family.This week has involved a lot of wrangling and caregiving so it's been a lot to manage, so I've also had to make it a priority to take care of myself too. For me, that looked like:Sending an email removing myself from a commitment that I had felt the need to do for awhile. 📩Going to an impromptu BeMoved dance class and dancing my heart out to some disco tunes. 🕺🏾Doing a pasta making class with my gurl Christine which was actually pretty cool. I mean, who needs a stress ball when you can just knead dough instead? 🍝And being super grateful for my squad. 💖All in all, a week of grace and if I had to pick another word for the year (in addition to Build), it would be that one: Grace. Giving it to others, but most of all, having grace with myself. And talking to myself like I would a friend, because sometimes I catch my self-talk and it's soo negative. There is no way I would talk to a friend that way. So giving myself more grace will be top of mind this year. And that won't change overnight, it'll be a journey like most things. But baby steps.How can you show yourself grace this week?On to the picks!P.S. I had such a great response to this last week so I'm offering it again 👉🏾 If you reply to this email and tell me a little bit about you and what you are working towards in 2020, I will respond with a specific tip or resource for you.
