You still get a place in this life.

A new role can fill your days before you have decided what else belongs in them. Your interests may need a different amount of time now, but they do not become unimportant simply because other people or tasks need you too.

ONE SMALL STEP

Protect a modest piece of time for something you enjoyed before this new role began.

A little room to breathe.16 September

A spark of light in your day.
