After my son’s first day of school, I was exhausted. Like, I-need-a-nap-immediately exhausted. I haven’t felt that tired since…well, come to think of it, since before summer break began.

He’s the one in school. Not much has changed for me. And there’s nothing too tiring about this back-to-school routine. In fact, I’ve been looking forward to having more routine that comes with the school year. So why the exhaustion? I wondered.

As long as I can remember I have been seeking.

I remember when I was 6 years old having two distinct thoughts:

Is this it?

Is this what life is all about?

Most of the grownups in my life seemed somewhere between bored and depressed. I remember thinking, “So I just stay in school and learn a bunch of useless calculus (no offense to those of you who love and use advanced math daily), go to college and suffer in a career for the next 30 years?” …

The Freedom in Permission

Guest Post, Self CareNo commentsFebruary 6, 2017Kara McNabb

Typically, when we think of asking permission, thoughts of authority and submission come to mind. We don’t like asking permission for things because it puts control into someone else’s hands. But what happens when the tables are turned? What happens when we start giving ourselves permission to do what needs to be done?…
