No one ever really prepared me for being a mom - for how this floodlight of equal parts worry and love would get turned on the moment they were born - and for how I would do anything to help them survive and thrive. Pretty sure nature designed it this way to help keep the species alive.

Somewhere along the way, making sure my kids had what they need became more important than my own health and well being.  Now that they’re old enough to take care of themselves, I find myself depleted mentally, emotionally and especially physically.

It’s a scary place to be, and I must admit that I’m not really even sure where to begin to nourish myself.

Question:  Have you put yourself on the back burner for others?

Food For Thought:   Are you able to make yourself a priority?

Challenge:  Do one thing that brings you joy today, however small.
