That is so kind of you to say, Monica, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Hope your week is filled with all good things, CoCo

I believe us women can all relate to what you have indicated. It is so important to take time for ourselves. We give and give of ourselves until completely drained. And, yes we should be cheerleading for each other. Happy belated birthday! I celebrate you and your honest. Hugs!

Oh Stacie happy belated birthday to you! I read your comment to CoCo and felt you need a virtual hug. I am reading the book “The Sugar Jar” by Yasmine Cheyenne. It is about setting healthy boundaries with people to self-heal and choose joy. I just started reading it and so far it has been good. Hang in there!

I absolutely love that you shared your week with us. Your dad’s cake looks amazing. I actually can’t live without my planner! Your hair looks beautiful. The bloody Mary’s looked incredible. I’m glad you spent much-needed “me time” on yourself.

You are so right, we definitely need that more than we admit! One of my biggest goals for the year is to take time when I need it. It’s hard as a content creator because there is so much pressure to do-do-do and go-go-go. But I realized this week that rest is one of the most important investments we can make in ourselves. My Dad is slightly addicted to The Great British Bakeoff and is constantly making stuff for us from croissants to cinnamon rolls to birthday cakes. He takes it very seriously 😆 Hope you’re having the best week and thanks so much for your sweet words on my hair – it totally has a mind of it’s own, CoCo

Thank you so much, Kim, I really appreciate it. I have to say it felt so good to take last week off. I’m kind of shocked at how productive this week has been after taking time to rest and regroup but I know I shouldn’t be surprised at all. Hope your week has been a good one as well. I’ll definitely be cheering you on as you walk through this year with rest, grace, and time away when you need it too. It’s so important! Hugs, CoCo

I love that it was filled with family, fun, good food, and pampering yourself! I’m super impressed with your Dad’s cake-baking and decorating skills! Thanks for reminding us that it’s ok to stop and take care of ourselves! We all need that more often than we admit! Your haircut looks amazing! Thanks for your uplifting words!

]]> By: Kim https://thecrownedgoat.com/gathering-hope/#comment-98625 https://thecrownedgoat.com/?p=87621#comment-98625 Happy Happy Birthday Coco! Your haircut looks great. It sounds like you have finally taken some time to rest and that makes me happy. You truly deserve time away to regroup and have fun and pamper yourself. Here’s to giving ourselves rest, grace, and time away when we need it in 2023.

Kim

We had a great time and I'm beyond thankful my Dad was able to rally and make our cake. He is hardly ever sick so to see him in such a weak state was really tough. Aging parents are no joke. I don't think my heart is ready for it at all so I'm going to love them through anything and everything I possibly can while they're still here and healthy. Dealing with burnout is hard. Especially, when you're a content creator. It can feel like a never-ending hustle and grind battle and while I don't have the answers yet, I'm definitely going to make looking for them a big priority of mine this year. Sending you tons of hugs and cheering you on as we walk in grace while chasing our dreams. I'll be right in the trenches with you, CoCo]]> In reply to Jen.

Thank you so much, Jen! I’m actually embarrassed to tell you how much shrimp I ate last week. Basically, every meal 😆 It was totally worth it though.

It warms my heart to know you feel encouraged, Susan, thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it and I hope you have the best week, CoCo

Thank you so much, Eileen. It was really nice to have the gift of uninterrupted time to take care of the things I’ve been putting off and to enjoy the things I’ve missed these past few months. I have no idea why we wait so long to put ourselves on the list but I’m definitely committed to taking more breaks when I need them. Wishing you the happiest week filled with all your favorite things, CoCo
