create space

Something that I have learned in the last 3 months as I've been on this journey is to be kind and true to myself.  I've learned that I do in fact have time to eat healthy food, to drink gallons a day of water, to get the sleep I need, and to treat myself to a mani /pedi (on a very regular basis [sorry Steve].)

I love myself.  um, no not in a creepy way. ;) But seriously, if I don't take care of this body - of this life - that I've been gifted, who will? I'm not putting that on my husband and kids.  I am not putting that responsibility and honestly, that privilege, on anyone else.

I am blessed to be a blessing.  However, in order to be even half a blessing - seriously, in order to be able to contribute, to give back, to share myself with my family, my friends, this world: I MUST TAKE CARE OF ME.
