I love this idea! I've never thought of take a year of recovery, but my first thought for how I might involves lots of time in nature. Time outside each week, even just meditating, should do wonders to your healing and mind-peace! Congratulations for doing this for yourself!

Have you ever had to recover from a series of circumstances that almost broke you?

Man have I ever. But one thing I've learned is that you can't always have it easy the hard times is what makes us who we are and farms us to who we supposed to be. I feel like if I hadn't went through the things I've been through then I wouldn't be who I am today. And with that pain to me forms into power. The last 10 years for me personally have not been the greatest I've been through a lot emotionally legally financially and even spiritually. But if the things that happened to me one have happened to me I don't think I would be where I'm at today. That doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt any less or I don't have to deal with the actual effects of the things that happen. I think taking time to deal with yourself and the things you've been through is a wonderful idea because as parents and as family and friends and aunts and uncles we tend to push all trauma and the things that happened to us on to our children so you taking time off to help yourself I think is a beautiful thing.

That doesn't make you any less of a mother or a friend or a mother I think if anything that would give you the power to be more for them. Because when we don't take care of ourselves we can't take care of all those and that's the most important thing. Because it's being caregivers which what women basically and if it's kind of even if you're not you still in a way to take care of something so to me I mean when it's only natural and not everybody has kids not everybody has animals and not everybody has a husband all part no and that's okay too but you still have to be able to take care of yourself before you can take care of anything and or anyone else.
