We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don’t allow our bodies to heal, and we don’t allow our minds and hearts to heal.
Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.

I nap a lot…but it’s due to depression and chronic fatigue. Some of my naps can be as short as 30 minutes or as long as four hours!
I’ve been there. The best naps are the ones when you wake up refreshed. But I remember the naps I took when I was struggling miscarriages and the grief that came with them. I needed all the naps my body asked for. I’m glad you’re getting rest. And I’m so glad you commented. Makes me feel a lot less alone. 🖤
Agreed. I actually was super ashamed until I realized when I looked back how much sleep and healing I needed to be able to do all the things I love today.

Makes me feel less alone as well. It’s hard to open up to others without feeling like you have to explain yourself. 💜
