"If we view our life as a pie chart, there is typically work, family, hobbies, and other commitments—our own self should be on that life pie chart, for our relationship to self is the most sacred of our lifetime." You're writing is like a warm breeze ... so lovey!

That's such a beautiful metaphor and powerful insight! I too nest at times. =) Grateful to you for supporting my periods of flying off. <3
