sent this to all clients and felt that it would be useful to put here
i am juggling way too many things for someone that is already burned out. my mental health has never needed as much attention as it does right now. i have been on ‘play’ this whole time, so i will be taking a temporary ‘paws’ to balance out!
i envision our subconscious as our undercurrent that has all these other smaller streams flowing that we may/may not notice along our journey. we tend to maintain those that bring us things we need/enjoy and the rest ‘as needed’. it took me WAY too long to realize the we are responsible for our own maintenance, no parent, no spouse, no friend, no government, nobody but you will ever truly see the value in what these bring to our lives.
i’ve failed to maintain myself, until now, and it’s been a painful reckoning that’s taken way longer than it should for anyone. i’m on to better days slowly but surely and things will continue to get better slowly but surely so this is me taking a much needed breather!
life changing shout out to patrick teahan’s youtube and website, like for real. that man’s words can help heal the world, we need more eyes on this becusse i am only one trauma survivor but we are all affected by someone along our lives, id be willing to bet on that too, the awareness is that needed. it’s like a lot of things in life, not what you expect or think are the symptoms or signs. go get the facts for yourself.
i will be taking personal time starting mar 1 through mar 20th. i will shift whatever i can to Noa and he can approve requests as his availability allows.
perfect opportunity to announce so y’all can plan accordingly. i will be taking 3 weeks off around halloween every year so that means i will close play paws and completely shut that part of my brain off too! will be starting this year and will be heading to headbangers boat no less! where rva also brings: lamb of god, municipal waste, gwar + bunch more kick ass bands, all on a ‘cruz’ ship, with other weirdo metal heads?! that’s bananas! that will help get me through some more tough shit ahead but it’ll be damn worth it, for the first time! :)
with love, gratitude, patience and kindness- margo siegel
