I’ve been hopping all over social media for the past few days apologizing and explaining why I fell of the face of the planet for two weeks.

You can watch the video explanation here.

Vacation is always a good time for reflection, and this trip coincided with my luteal and menstrual phase, which meant an extra little boost of focused reflection for this girl.

That and we spent a lot of time sitting in a car, train or plane. And I’m known to space off while in moving vehicles.

While I always love going off on an adventure, I’m very thankful that I find myself excited to get back to my life/work here at home.

It’s always better when I’m able to continue working while I’m out and about, but some trips it just doesn’t happen like that.

But while I returned home exhausted and slightly jet lagged, I found myself invigorated to get back to work.

That itch to start creating and sharing is burning more than normal, which in my opinion is a great outcome of vacation.

And I want to start collaborating more with other beautiful souls I’ve found online.

The moral of the story here is to listen to your body, mind and schedule. I always plan for work, getting projects done, but I’m fine tuning my ability to just let things go when necessary.
