While I’ve been consistent with personal self-care through such practices as meditation, cycling, and yoga (how long until I master crow pose, though?), as of late, when it comes to self-care of my business, I give myself an enthusiastic thumbs down.

It is always a delight when a writer seems to be speaking directly to me, as was the case this morning while skimming a blog and being struck that no truer words have ever been uttered: Self-control and babka do not coexist. Though I'd never attempted my own babka--the baking of which is deemed "no casual undertaking" by NYT Cooking. Why does the challenge intimidate me?
