Thank you Ashley! And I totally agree with your perspective around resting in your latest piece. It took me years to embrace rest! When I did my yoga teacher’s training in Coonoor, India, they forced me to not do any physical activity and I remember how uncomfortable I felt with it... But when I became a mother, I was so relieved to have “the excuse” of not going up the mountain for 2 days out of the week, and just rest and read a book :)

I enjoyed this thoughtful essay very much, I applaud your courage and hope to be more authentic with my own and my family's stories. Courage is the ingredient that separates artists from the rest!

Thank you Kristy. It’s a tough dance. I also can’t help but wonder what stories my daughters will tell about me one day... :)
