Instead of asking, ‘Have I worked hard enough to deserve rest?’ Ask, ‘Have I rested enough to do my most loving, meaningful work?”
Nicola Jane Hobbs
Throughout my career I’ve experienced cycles of burnout, which I’ve come to believe are practically inevitable in our culture. As an independent accountant, I work to build strong, deep relationships with my clients by protecting my capacity. I only take on work that I know I will be able to give my best self to. I know this is a great privilege.
When not at a computer using QuickBooks, I can be found at a computer playing with graphic design, standing on my hands or hanging from a trapeze, sewing an elaborate costume for a party, or cuddling my four fancy rats Fern, Fable, Flint, and Ziggy Stardust.
