Before leaving for Palm Springs, I sent myself a care package filled with Benny’s food (too heavy for my suitcase). Mama tucked this card inside the box before it was taped closed. The card says: “Take a moment to remember that you are a total badass” and inside she wrote a sweet note to me.

It feels strange to be away from each other for so long after 12 years of my caregiving role. But now it’s been one week and my body is only just starting to let go of years-long tension. I’m glad my time here continues. I am loving this vacation! Many thanks to everyone who has helped make this dream possible!

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama is a badass reminder! Sending love to all the badasses out there! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! And remember, kindness is everything!
