I have been on vacation for the past few weeks and am posting when I can. Even though I am on a "working vacation," I am only taking on what is absolutely necessary in an effort to take it easy and practice as much restorative self-care as possible. Even though this blog is very important to me, it is not a necessity that I post daily. I will get back into a more regular posting schedule when I return home in mid-August. In the meantime, it's Monday July 16, 2018 and I have five mental health news stories to drink your coffee to.
