I am a single mom of 12 year old twins and I have, of course, been struggling with the challenges of being a good parent to them in the time of Covid-19. I cook healthy meals, and take them on a 2 hour drive everyday so that we can have special alone time and see the world around us. I keep a clean house and stock the firewood. For the most part I feel like I have been handling this time well, but your article really struck me and made me keenly aware of the importance of self care. I take good care of them, but I should be taking better care of myself. I have not taken the time to breath or meditate, I drink too much wine in the evening, I’m watching too much news and not reading as much as I used to. I’ve not made any art in a while. So thank you for sharing your thoughts about the importance of taking care of oneself, nurturing our inner child and being loving to our bodies, and as you so beautifully said, listening to the quiet truth within us.
