I recently went up North to visit my sister on the farm she attends to and it was a much needed break to clear my head, find a change of pace, and fill my cup amidst a season of supporting our father through his cancer fight.

My journey was filled with driving the dog my sister rescued to her new home, watching her learn what her new normal was, experiencing an A's game, and watching the stars shine brightly at night.

In trying times we often tell ourselves over and over again that we are "fine." When in reality the external noise continues to weigh us down. Taking a moment, no matter how brief, to ourselves is essential in supporting those we need to. As the saying goes, "we must fill our own cups before we can fill the cups of others." Getting to spend a week away at the start of summer was just what my cup needed.
