Just before the pandemic of 2020 shook the world, I was thinking about the trend in self-care and the “Me First” movement. There are a lot of people who buy into this philosophy, but very few I see that it is actually working for them. I’ve been there. The overwhelmed mom of young children. The single mom. The wife fighting a losing battle in her marriage. The working mom. The stay-at-home mom. I get it, it is hard! It is so easy to lose yourself in the needs of others. It is easy to lose yourself in the many directions we get pulled as women, mothers, and humans. I realized it had to be different. There had to be more to self-care than a bubble bath. There had to be more to self-care than wrapping yourself inside of yourself.

After a lot of thought, I came up with self-care being so much more and involving so many more people. I plan on talking about all of these throughout my writings here. I’ll address taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional selves. I’ll include taking care of our financial, medical care, and spiritual lives. During our time here I’ll talk about serving others and domestic violence (there is a fun one.)

Stick around and share your thoughts. I look forward to getting to know you.
