This is my idea of a special

way to care for myself.

Choosing Your Battles

 

Being able to distinguish needs from wants is essential. Never let go of an outcome you truly need in your life, but be reasonably flexible on the outcomes you want but could live fine without. In other words, choose your battles wisely, and don’t let perfect become the enemy of good. Remind yourself that what you pay attention to grows. So focus on what really matters and let go of what does not…

Sewing Bloomer Pants

 

I'm making these for sleepwear.

Using a pair of pants to make a pattern. Lace, fabric on hand, draw string and elastic. I even have an old embroidered tablecloth, and some lace that I can make into bloomers.

Or, maybe old pillow cases?

Or, remaking sleeping pants?

You Are Amazing

 

If you carry one thing

with you today, let it be this

You are amazing, strong,

brave, wonderful, kind,

loved, worthy and there

is no one like you.

Mom

 

She loved me in the only way she knew how. Allow yourself to grieve, the mother you didn't have. Allow mourning.
