6. Luxuriate in a space of dreaming, imagining, and creating …foster new visions of the life of thriving you desire for yourself and community. 7. Do something that makes you laugh till you cry 🤣#Blaqsabbatical
5. Reinvest in yourself of the resources you have given away to people, orgs and institutions that do not value the fullness of your humanity, gifts, talents and treasure.
practice this in small and large ways. 1. Spend one hour to focus on your thriving and Joy. 2 If you have PTO on your job, use every single drip drop of it. 3. Read Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey. 4.Stop volunteering or accepting extra responsibilities, paid or unpaid; emotional or physical.
I offically declare 2025 to be the year of Blaq Sabbatical. We shall hold Blaq Love and Blaq Joy near, as if our lives depend on it. We shall choose rest, joy and thriving over grind culture. Especially my dear beloved Blaq Women, Rest!
