Sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is pause and love on ourselvesโintentionally.
This picture was taken a week before my birthday while I was sitting at the salon, just waiting to be seen.
But as I sat there, I couldnโt help but reflect on how important it is to celebrate myself and acknowledge that I am worthy of care, too.
As a Single Mom by Choice (or honestly, just as a mom in general), it can feel hard to put ourselves first when weโre so used to pouring into everyone else.
๐๐พBut the truth is, when we take time to honor and nurture ourselves, we remind ourselves of our worthโand thatโs something our children get to see, too.
Lovely, if you needed a reminder todayโyou deserve to be celebrated, too.
So today, let this be your gentle reminder: ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐๐ฎ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ง๐, ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐โ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐จ ๐ข๐ช๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐ฅ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ค.
