30-Day Radical Rest Challenge: Day 5
Today’s Task: Float! (Or Meditate) One of the coolest things that I’ve discovered since moving to West Central Minnesota is Salt 2 O.

30-Day Radical Rest Challenge: Day 4
Today’s task: Go to bed early There’s something lovely and kind of sad about fall here in Minnesota. As the days get shorter, the heaviness in your eyes and your body starts to kick in around 7 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. The sun starts setting and you feel like not making plans late in […]
