I have to agree with Danielle - I'm my best self when I've had some time to myself. Being a busy mom to two kids, even my work energizes me when I have the time to focus on it without distractions, and really pour my passion into it. Also, an evening out with close friends and good conversation is very invigorating! Time to cook, not just the family dinner, but something delicious and sensual where I can use what's really fresh at the farmer's market, and time to really sit and enjoy it makes me feel very connected to myself, and helps to give me energy going forward.
