Mar 8 Happy International Women's Day!

It was only last year that I learned about this holiday that honors women's economic, political, and social achievements. In many countries, it is a special day for men to treat the women in their lives with small gifts and kind gestures.

Maybe it’s ok just to veg and binge watch series after series (I’m looking at you, Netflix, Hulu, Starz, and Prime). Maybe this time at home isn’t necessarily about thriving, but surviving— focusing on wellness and being kinder and more forgiving toward ourselves and others.
