Thank you Angela for the reminder, as a single parent myself I am very much committed to self care so that I can be the best Mother for my precious little soul, who is 3 years old.

Also I believe in leading by example and nurturing a generation that is aware of the benefits of self care, and knowing that this is not selfish. At times it seems like I am doing a million things at once and not doing them particularly well, self care is also the ability to be kind to ourselves with our thoughts, our words and our actions.

My son does spend quite a lot of time with his Dad so I am blessed with the gift of time and the opportunity to turn that precious time into self care. I am very careful to select only activities that nourish my soul during that time, and I have become very good at saying NO and only spending time with the people who nourish my soul.
