"Welcome to my experiment in self-care.
I am Clara Parkes, a New York Times-bestselling author riding out the pandemic
from a farmhouse on the coast of Maine.
Like many of you, the arrival of COVID erased my work, shattered my
concentration, and left me staring into silence while slowly slipping.
I needed a daily touchpoint. Failing to find just the right balance of soul,
brevity, and humor, I decided to do it myself.
On March 9, 2020, I launched the
Daily Respite.
The premise of this newsletter is extremely simple: Every morning, I email a
little nugget as you start your day. A short video clip, a story, a poem, an
idea. Just enough to set you on your path for the day.
I love writing the
Respite, and people love receiving it.
It’s called
The Daily Respite because that’s what we need right now: a brief
interval of relief. A momentary brightness for our worrying brains. A reminder
of the joy that exists all around us, even in difficult times.
Not to pretend the world isn’t troubled, but to provide fuel for the journey."
