My daughter and husband left for a fun-filled day at the beach today. It was cloudy when they hurriedly left in the morning and they didn’t grab my Faux Sunscreen Kit (not surprised). As the sun slowly started to come out in the morning and then blasting August heat full-on by noon, I thought I better text them to check in.

There’s your body that needs to recover, then the motherly knowing and trusting that needs to develop over time. At the heart of it all, there’s also a baby in your arms who starts out so tiny and helpless, but grows so quickly, crossing milestones and new phases (again more learning and trying)."

A friend recently shared with me her New Year’s resolution: 20 minutes of exercise every day. I just love a goal that’s doable, simple, and leaves room for more. It’s a brilliant idea whose time has come. As we near the one-year anniversary of the Covid-19 lockdown, the scale tells the tale of how so many of us have been unconsciously coping with the changes to life as we know it.
