Self Care

One of the blessings of being a woman is possessing the ability to nurture and love those around us very well.  As a wife and a mother, I know firsthand, how wonderful it is to care for those that I love.  I also know how easy it is to put my own needs on the back burner because I tend to always see my family’s needs as my priority.  However recently, due to an illness, I have come to realize, that if I don’t take care of myself first, I will not be able to serve those that I care so deeply for.   

On my last Airplane flight, I remember the flight attendant giving instructions in the event that there was a flight emergency. She encouraged us to put our oxygen mask on first before we tried to assist anyone else.   Ladies Self-care is the oxygen mask that will keep us alive and well while we care for those that are so dear to us.
