Happy Easter - Don't Forget Yourself

Good morning and Happy Easter!

This will be a very busy morning for many of you, myself included, so I wanted to take a moment to share a gentle reminder: don’t forget yourself.

After the Easter egg hunts, church services, and visits with family and friends… after welcoming excited grandchildren looking for sweet treats… and after all the joyful (but often busy) moments that fill this weekend, try to steal a little time just for you.

This morning, I’ve prepared a batch of whipped cream and have some cream puff shells ready for fruit, chocolate shavings, and candied ginger. But before anything else, I’m taking twenty minutes to curl up with my dog and the cats, sip a coffee topped with a little whipped cream, extra sugar, and a sprinkle of nutmeg, and simply breathe. These next few minutes are my “me time.”

Later, I’ll enjoy a peppermint or ginger tea and ease into a quieter afternoon. I know how full and fast-paced these weekends can be, so this is just a reminder: whoever is doing the cooking, baking, and planning also needs to plan a break.

Take care of yourself, too.

Happy Easter, and enjoy the day,

Dawn McNaught
