Have a Happy New Year as you Swing into the New Year! “Every moment is a fresh beginning.” —T.S. Eliot

Perspective
November 25 – Happy Thanksgiving! On this usually festive holiday, many of us will find ourselves unable to travel, staying close to home to stay safe. May we all be safe no matter where we are.

How do I bare this weight that I cannot bare? It may be agonizing to get to the other side, but that is the purpose, the reason to lift the weight. Do not cry but breathe. Look both ways. Who am I? “You’re sure you’re okay?” “Yes,” I replied, but I was on shaky ground.

Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing.
I believe that the gist of this post is: set limits, set boundaries, set priorities, seek out your purpose and follow it and most important,
be true to yourself – you MATTER!
