Sometimes the rest you needed was in your own backyard. As the person who works through the holidays, I try to spend the first couple weeks of every year NOT at work. Whether it’s sleeping in, a quick day trip, grabbing my favorite snacks from the store or a little self care…this time is all about taking it slow and letting God lead you through life. It sets the tone for a year that considers what He wants for me, not what’s socially or corporately expected. Here’s to healthy boundaries and a rhythm of rest all year long! Richmonders, where should i visit next week? #lifestyle #chelschatter #christianblogger #staycation #richmondva
