One of my favorite magazines of late is Breathe. It’s optimism infused with wellness, kindness, mindfulness and inspirations actually helps me breathe. I usually have it by my nightstand and every now and then I pick it up to become focused on what matters for me. Today, creativity that cures. Finding opportunities for self care, opportunities for life care, is my crusade these days and of course writing it as these lists helps me get through each day. For me writing each day, whether short or long, whether research or not, helps me stay grounded, helps me focus on being human. We don’t practice real writing anymore for the sake of simply writing. I believe that every time I write, I am getting better at my own self care, getting better at my life care simply because I choose to breathe.
