Y’all, the last few months have been a real doozy and it somehow feels like this year both just started and also that it should already be July . . . can anyone relate? That being said, it feels like life has sped by lately, and the last couple of weeks had me both reflecting on and digging into the concept of “hustle” and the simultaneous necessity for rest.

One of the coolest things about living in the time and technological age that we do is that we can connect with almost anyone from anywhere in the world at any time. Through all of the different social media channels — from Instagram to TikTok to O.G. blogging — we have the opportunity to communicate with and even befriend people we may have never met in real life, which is both crazy and incredible!
