Spicy mayo cucumber & crab spring rolls
I decided to take some time off 3 days before I left on my impromptu trip, because I realized it was either that or I was going to lose it. Literally.
I’d had the same cold for 3 weeks, my daughter and I were ping-pong-ing it back and forth. Our nights were terrible, and I had to lose my voice completely to finally stop and ask for help. Not in a week. Not in a month. Now.
I begged my mother, and my friend to join me on this selfish trip where one could be there to take care of my daughter whenever I needed it and the other to be with me while I vented and regrouped.
It was the right decision to make. Even though I had to overcome my deep fear of not following my work schedule, and to reschedule work plans that were dear to my heart.
I left what seemed essential, for fundamentals and in all honesty, it was well worth it.
It’s incredible what a few discussions, a shoulder to lean on, sleep and the ocean can do to the soul.
