Gratituesday 6.6.17 - A Little Self-Care!

Hello and Welcome to Wedding Season! Thankfully things are very busy, but that means it takes more of an effort to reflect and practice self-care. There are many in my circle that focus their time and energy on assisting others. We all need to remember - me included - to take care of ourselves. I love the Oxygen Mask on a plane analogy. If the air pressure on a plane changes and the masks drop, we are always encouraged to put the masks on ourselves FIRST before putting them on others. In essence, how can we help our family members and friends, clients and co-workers, if we are not prepared or able to do so? So, let's take a collective breath, and put a little focus on self-care. Now are you ready to join me in a little reflection?
