"Self Care is not selfish or self indulgent.
We cannot nurture others from a dry well.
we need to take care of our own needs first,
then we can give others from our surplus, our abundance."
~ Jennifer Louden ~

"Oh, I wish I could do that, I just do NOT have time."
"I feel guilty saying NO to other people."
"I am too busy taking care of the kids."
"I have to... I should..."
