Taking a Real Break

I recently took my family up to Tennessee for my oldest daughter’s birthday—she just turned 8 and, somehow, is a big Dolly Parton fan! We hiked in the Smoky Mountains, enjoyed a show, and even went to Dollywood. It was an amazing time. I promised myself that I wouldn’t work at all during the trip. For someone like me, where my brain never fully “turns off,” that was a big deal. Usually, I’m jotting down notes or creating posts, even between work breaks.

But this time, I decided to leave all that behind. I wanted to be present, fully focused on my family and enjoying nature. And honestly? It was refreshing. Sometimes, we all need a few days to disconnect, appreciate the people we love, and recharge.

Now, I’m back at work with a clear mind and more energy. Taking breaks isn’t just about rest; it’s about coming back stronger and more focused. So, if you’re always “on,” consider giving yourself permission to truly unplug.
