Another certification and massive accomplishment. I learned so much that I can apply for my own clients as well. I am excited to give back this way and be a part of this amazing pilot program. I know it is going to have a massive impact on so many.

I find now more than ever, it is important to intentionally create pauses in my day. Working from home can often mean we lose the clear barrier between work time and life time. It is easy to work a little longer and not step away. I have become very intentional about creating space and clear boundaries in my day. A 10 minute pause with a book, my candle and my favourite slippers goes a long way. When I create these pauses and pour into myself I find I get more done. How do you pour into yourself and get intentional about self- care in your day?

On this day of celebration of love, Iet's pause and reflect on the love we are giving ourselves.

#SelfCareSaturdays What are you doing to practice self-care today?

I don't have a daughter, and think this is great advice for all of us, so I am posting this for all my girlfriends. In case you need a reminder, here it is... 1. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. But, wash your face, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there. 2. You are a woman, you do not need a partner, but you can absolutely enjoy your life with a good one. 3. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.... 4. Never walk through an alley alone. 5. ‘Can’t’ - is a cop-out. 6. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero. 7. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to. 8. Stay true to yourself always. 9. Your body, your rules. 10. If you have an opinion, you’d better know why. 11. Practice your passions. 12. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no. 13. Wish on stars, and then get to work to make them happen. 14. Stay as sweet as you are. 15. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it. 16. Reserve I’m sorry for when you truly are! 17. Question everything ... except your own intuition. 18. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better. 19. No matter where you are, you can always come home. 20. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING. 21. Say what you mean and mean what you say. 22. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you. 23. If in doubt, remember whose friend/daughter you are and straighten your crown. Copy and paste with a picture of your mother, daughter, or friend.

This momma is smiling because I took some extra time to practice self-care this morning. What are you doing to care for yourself today? I did a longer meditation, some reading and gave my sore muscles some care.
