Hey there, Shirley. Good for you! I think strong women try to push through obstacles, even when we’re really not up for it. Determination is often admirable, but we can’t let ourselves overemphasize everything we do, especially when we need a break. It’s hard not to push on through when you’re used to it, right? But that’s not always smart or best. Fighting that out takes the majority of our lifetime, at least I did for me. Keep doing what’s best for you, and sometimes that means doing nothing at all.

Hang in there, my friend. Love and blessings.
