... That's what my MoonX app affirmation said this morning. A perfect reminder to both treat and nurture yourself, but also to invest in yourself and do things a little out of your comfort zone. This year, not only have I opened the writer's retreat up to non-writers, I've also heard the need for Day Passes. Introducing: Day Passes Sometimes, we can't get away for three days.
