How Can I Help?

I recently went on a girl's day, and we hit multiple antique and thrift shops (one of my favorite things to do)! The first booth I entered at an antique shop was a single teal book titled A Guide For Remembering Things You Like To Do, with a big heart encasing "SELF-CARE." Not to mention, it was $2.50. So naturally, I bought it!  I thought about everything that caused me to forget about the good things for my soul. I get so caught up in the chaos that I forget to be kind to myself. I thought sharing might remind you to think about ways to be kinder to yourself! I encourage you to give yourself 5 minutes after finishing my blog to reflect and ask yourself,  How can I be kinder to myself?  Here's what I've got, friends!  1.  Accepting where I'm at in life as a good and right thing. I am where I'm meant to be right now. 2.  Positive self-talk. Accepting my body, looks, and flaws as what makes me.  3.  Start giving myself the same love I give others. ...

     It dawned on me today that one year ago, my car was stolen from the parking lot right outside my little corner townhouse. I remember waking up and feeling like it wasn't real, and the days following felt like I was as low as one could get on luck.      Here I am a year later (even though it feels like three lifetimes have passed), and I think I am where I'm supposed to be. I told myself then, "Surely nothing else can go wrong. It's only up from here." However, over this year, I have learned a sad reality; something else will blow up in your face right when you think all the dust has settled. I read part of a book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***, and the author emphasized that as a part of life comes back-to-back things that seem to be going wrong. One of those things for me was a halt in my writing. Looking at my side of this blog, you would see 3 or 4 blogs I had started but couldn't finish. I hope this isn't one of them.      ...
