It is my pleasure to introduce Me Time: Self-care in a Challenging World. This is the first book I self-published, so I am so excited to share it here. The origins of this impactful little book were here in Life Cheat Sheets (brendabrayko.substack.com) with a series called Me-Time 101: Self-care in the Time of COVID.
It was during the pandemic and beyond that I really dug into expanding my self-care toolbox. So many people were isolated and yearning for ways to rebalance and restore mind, body, and spirit. I wanted to help! Since the original series’ release in late 2021, we have continued to be challenged by our world. My hope is that you will find the dozens of self-care tools in Me Time: Self-care in a Challenging World valuable for daily life in a tumultuous world.
As with all of my books, the photos throughout the book are original, spanning shots from Hong Kong, Singapore and Sri Lanka to Wisconsin and Illinois. The cover photo was taken from the seventh story balcony of our apartment in Hong Kong which overlooked the scenic Tai Tam Bay. What appears to be daffodils are actually, narcissus, a traditional Lunar New Year flower. (I wrote many-a-journal on that beloved balcony!)
Something that few will realize, is that each new chapter heading is preceded by a one-inch square image from some corner of that cover image! I awoke one morning with the inspired thought, “Why not include images taken from the cover to signal a new chapter rather than a traditional chapter number?”

Why not treat yourself or someone else to all the tools in Me Time: Self-care in a Challenging World? Find it as an e-book on Amazon Kindle. Don’t forget to leave a review.
Be well!
