The question: what is one “why not” that has changed (or could change) your life?
I wrote above how my first sabbatical in 2020 changed my life. It was a big, risky "why not?" for me at the time. Now it's a simple one. Sabbaticals, the importance and meaning of which I'll write more about in the future, are a full bodied yes for me. I've learned I need a lot of downtime to keep fueling and shipping my creative work. Taking an annual sabbatical is an immense privilege and I try to be intentional with every day of it, so where I go matters less than how I move about.
I'm taking another month-long sabbatical this fall. I'm going to Texas Hill Country for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and then flying to Italy for three weeks to attend a creativity/yoga/connection retreat in Tuscany and to see old friends in Northern Italy and Rome. I plan to prioritize creativity inspiration, celebrate meaningful relationships, relish in situ art, and indulge delicious food and wine …which sounds much more “Eat Pray Love” than I mean to, but così è la vita! I mean, why not?!
