Practical Information for Life!
"An Online Resource for Women!"
Many of us play several different roles in life: wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, employee and the list goes on and on.
Because we must play so many different roles we sometimes lose ourselves in the process. In their book entitled Vitamins for Your Soul, Traci Mullins and Ann Spangler say that:
"Just as our bodies need sustenance, rest, exercise and protection in order to thrive, so do our souls need refreshment and refueling, retreat and activity, attention and healing in order to be fully alive."
It's time to start lavishing the same level of attention on ourselves as we give to others.
Let today be the last day that you place your own health, feelings, concerns and general wellbeing on the back burner!
