this month I will make more time for writing for expressing for being authentic in being who I am even if I do not share (or do not yet feel comfortable to share) with the world.

this week I will make time for rest for in rest there is revolution in rest I have found myself beyond the bounds and expectations of what others have for me

today I am making this commitment in intention but also making this commitment in time by slipping these thoughts into my calendar and ensuring that I do not schedule other things before these priorities.
