Nurturing your happiness portfolio, with Mrs BITA. I spend quite a lot of effort / time doing this very thing, to counteract the stressors in other areas of my life.

THINKING THINGS
On parenting: “We do not need to make our children’s childhood magical. Childhood is inherently magical, even when it isn’t perfect. My childhood wasn’t perfect and we weren’t rich by any stretch of the imagination, but my birthdays were still happy because my friends came over.” Yep, we couldn’t possibly match the magic of growing up in a world afresh, experiencing so many things for the first time, why try to duplicate the natural wonder that’s free with cheap (or expensive) toys?
Bagels and trains and a brawl. Only in the U.K.?
“While I knew intellectually that chronic illness management was challenging for women of color, I never fully grasped what that looked like in practice.” These attitudes were partly why I didn’t get a proper diagnosis or care for about 15 years of debilitating pain.
