She & her team scores platinum, and Bristol accepted their pins & award for the team. It was lovely to see her on stage, confidently telling the crowd her name & studio. I almost cried.

Leslie is a freelance writer for Pittsburgh Parent magazine and the Tribune Review, and the author of Other People’s Words, Almost Too Late and These Broken Pieces.

What works to curb our overwhelm today, may not work in the same way next month, but as you get better at identifying your triggers and anticipating your needs, you will create a set of "go to" self-care activities. I find a lot of comfort in taking walks outside. The fresh air, the birds chirping, the busyness of the outdoors - it all seems to make me calm. What is your go to activity for reconnecting with...
