We all need a sanctuary, especially during challenging times like these. We need a place we can escape to that is…well…it doesn’t have to be happy but it should be serene and conflict-free.
Some people have claimed groups like Romancelandia (the fellowship of romance novel readers, writers and others) or gardening groups or friend groups as their sanctuaries.
These are great. But I highly recommend also having a sanctuary with very few people in it. Because people, during challenging times, often carry their worries and their challenges with them.
So maybe if you have Romancelandia as a sanctuary, you also have a reading nook (or your sweet loving bed – grins) in your home, where you can escape and read beloved romance novels.
If you have a gardening group as a sanctuary, you also have a place in your garden or a plant-filled spot in your home you can retreat to and refill your emotional well.
We can have multiple sanctuaries! And sometimes these are needed!
