Hey friends, it's Rosie.
Welcome back to Radio Headspace.
Have you ever been taken out of a relaxing experience by a bee sting?
I have.
It had been a while since I'd really unplugged.
Enough time away from the constant responding, producing,
and keeping up, the days had started to stretch a little differently.
And for the first time in a long time, I had a small window of space.
No pressing deadlines.
No immediate urgency.
Just time.
And I didn't quite know what to do with it.
At first, I filled it in the way that I always do.
A little productivity here.
A little organizing there.
A few lingering tasks I had convinced myself would make me feel better once they were done.
But eventually, I ran out of things to fix.
So I went outside.
It was one of those Los Angeles summer days where the heat doesn't just surround you, it just sits on your skin.
When we moved to the valley, I had one requirement.
