“Me Time” Moments Don’t Just Happen – They’re Made

“Me Time” Moments Don’t Just Happen – They’re Made

It’s 8:54 p.m and I’m sipping chamomile tea, sans sugar (I’m a fake-me-out grown up these days). I just dug thru the junk drawer in the kitchen by the sink to find the lighter. The lotus flower and bamboo 3-wick soy candle hasn’t been lit in a while, but tonight is the night. It’s long overdue. Alexa is playing a Jasmine Sullivan random R&B/neo-soul-ish playlist, and the honey-gold sunlight is fading into the greyish-blue sky. I’m writing from the sofa, under a light blanket, with the floor fan oscillating on medium. I’m taking time for me. Me time. And it’s absolutely not by accident.
