Self-Compassion is Self-Care
I have learned that there are just somethings about me I have to accept and embrace. It is so easy to fall in the trap of comparison as if God created perfect people.

Mornings Matter to me. To help me maintain a healthy mental, physical and spiritual state, I rise early each weekday to spend time alone before my family gets out of bed. This allows me to slowly take the time I need to care well for myself. Some mornings it’s a struggle to pull myself awayContinue reading “Mama’s Morning Basket”
