Jenny - Sending positive energy as you face this health challenge. Situations like this are complex because you may be unable to work and you need to decide what boundaries you're comfortable with as far as sharing private details. I wish you well.

Sandy - I'm glad this information was helpful. Being a parent or caregiver, any role with important responsibilities, can make it difficult to prioritize everything that must get done. Checking in on where WE are at and making sure we get sufficient rest, nutrition, stress management, exercise, sleep, and support can feel like yet another task but in the long run, it fuels us to keep going. Good luck to you.

Thanks, Denise! It's been quite the ride.

I think the self care aspect is the most important for me to remember. I was a caregiver for my mother for many years, and that drained my creativity during that time. I *wish* I'd known then how to protect my creativity. It was something that I did eventually learn, but I spent about 15 years absolutely unable to write. I don't regret the time spent, but I do regret not writing during those years!

This is super sage advice. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Too often we get bogged down in the struggles of life and forget to assess situations and readjust what we're doing. To be kind to ourselves and prioritise self-care.

Thanks for the reminder.

This is definitely an important topic. I've wrestled with it.

You can't help anyone if you are floundering, so I totally understand the putting on the oxygen mask first.

I had to take a long look at what I had in mind for the business and how that fit into our family situation. No easy decisions.
