This is a beautiful piece, Kayte, and a lovely portrait of how true self care is more profound than spa-style pampering or a “treat yo’self” day. Thanks for sharing your best friend with those of us who don’t have such a model in our lives.

I really enjoyed reading this, Kayte, and completely agree with you when it comes to how the term ‘self care’ is dubiously flaunted left right and centre. You now have me wholeheartedly invested in the tender daily actions of your friend being where it’s really at. I too, have a long way to go in this. It’s true that in the absence of it being modeled for us it can be hard to even recognize where there’s room for improvement. Thanks for sharing!

Really love this, Kayte. Beautifully written and such important reminders to treat ourselves in the same way we would a special guest in our home. Thank you for sharing - your friend sounds wonderful and I'm all filled up even though I only visited her home through your words! Gorgeous. ✨

This is such a lovely piece of writing. Your friend sounds like the person I would love to meet too and to follow some of her "tender" tips. Hoping my life looks like this someday soon.
