I love this invitation, Tanya. And I love hearing about your Leo Rising! Yes!!
I actually got a literal sunburn recently on my first trip to the pool this summer. It was also the first time I'd been to a pool in over four years. For a while, I told myself I was too old, too tired, too fat, too something to go. But the other day I said *uck it and went anyway. And it was lovely.
I swam for over half an hour, crisped myself on both sides, and came home a little more “done” than I’d intended. The swim even tweaked a nerve, so I had two kinds of pain. But honestly, I felt more alive than I have in a long time. Young Heather loved the pool, and being there brought me back to her. My slightly glowing red skin and my tired body both felt like me in the very best way.

It was a good day. And I intend to do it again.
Yes!! 🙌 I love that you went to the pool and did this for yourself. These moments for ourselves are so important. Keep going.
