hahaha, this is true! The time to smell the roses will come in a few months or so, I suppose! I'm so glad you've had the time to begin recharging! Yeah, I'm a professional counselor, specializing in EMDR trauma therapy! I can write a little post about that in the future if that seems intriguing to folks! The post on shame is very much something that came from counseling experiences, and revolves more around my personal thoughts on it - growing up in the Bible Belt of the USA and being brought up in a "shame culture" so to speak. I love talking about it and breaking down the walls of shame in those who I interact with, so I hope you enjoy the read!
It was my pleasure to stop by, thank you again for sharing your experiences!
