Hello Blendfriends! Welcome to the first Wednesday of September. I'm stepping in for Julia, who is traveling today. Now, I know I'm on vacation, but since a lot of people are returning to a more intense interaction these days, with the start of school, return to the office, and generally spending more time with others, I thought it might be a good time to post this reminder to take some time for yourself.

“Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but 'steal' some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.” (Albert Camus)

I know I often interpret the thoughts I choose for these posts, but honestly, this one is already perfect :)

Now I'm going to spend a little quality time in my workout room 💪. Have a fabulous Wednesday, everyone!

PS Lara, our summer wasps keep trying to spend quality time with me as well. They buzz up against the screens trying to get in... I don't even think it's for the heat. Argh. Hope yours get sorted, soonest!
