Sometimes when I'm in a rush and feeling anxious I'll inhale a white sage stick (the dried leaves, not the smoke) and it helps me regain my footing :-)Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-74511541561957684672015-12-14T22:39:01.668+01:002015-12-14T22:39:01.668+01:00As others have said, your Spiritual First Aid Kit ...As others have said, your Spiritual First Aid Kit is an inspired idea, Ellen!

It makes perfect sense. I used to bring a small sketchbook, pencil and eraser with me everywhere. If I didn't need to use it...Great! But it was nice to have it as backup in case I needed to withdraw. I should start carrying one around with me again. :)The Wandering Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247366893649239809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-56676330692730324562015-12-12T19:31:09.020+01:002015-12-12T19:31:09.020+01:00A lovely post on the nuances of self-care, Ellen. ...A lovely post on the nuances of self-care, Ellen.
