I’ve never spent more time on my own research than I have in the past few months. I haven’t totally written off 2020, at least not in terms of my genealogy.

So for me, 2020 has been about self care as well as taking care of family. Each time in 2020 when I thought we hit bottom, I discovered there was a basement! So I prescribe a regiment of self-care, lots of genealogy research, and laying a foundation for REAL PROGRESS in finding your ancestors! Genealogist Self-Care This means I need to go with the flow, make the most of 2020, increase my genealogy knowledge, and prepare for success in 2021.

The BIGGEST LESSON OF 2020 for me? Shift happens so learn to turn. Calgon take me away! Shift Happens: Learn to Turn And I’ve had to retreat into my genealogy bubble to keep out all the “negative.” Know what really helps?Ī bath! This is my one indulgence … a nice hot soak in the whirlpool tub, a lavender rosemary bath bomb, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and Nina Simone on the stereo. I’m thankful for all my followers and friends who help keep me centered. I don’t know what you’re coping mechanisms are. Doesn’t it seem like 2020 is the gift that won’t stop giving? And today, I just found out that a friend’s father passed away and another friend’s mother needs a double mastectomy. COVID pandemic, natural disasters, being out of touch with friends and family. , Thomas MacEntee, Comments Off on Genealogy and Self-Care: Treat Yourself for a Better 2021 Genealogist: Treat Yourself!
