Taking Care Of Yourself




Hey All - I know that I haven't posted on here in some time but I found the quote above and it spoke volumes to me. As some of you may know I am a mother of 3 beautiful kiddos (all under 5) who works her booty off full time to care for her household. I came to a sort of epiphany a couple of weeks ago, that for as long as I can remember I haven't done one thing for myself. In the hustle and bustle of the day to day chores of getting the kiddos to school, baseball practices, getting myself to work late almost everyday and so on and so fourth I literally have become a slave to my routine. After a day of running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I finally come home to fix dinner, give baths, check homework, fight the bedtime battles and finally bring myself to physically wind down and mentally gear back up to get ready to do it all again the next day.

I have made a promise to myself to take more time to nurture and care for me. Putting one self first is such a simple concept but at the same time such a challenge for a person who is as selfless as mother and wife is. I know it will take tons of self discipline, focus and drive but I am determined to be the best version of myself and not allow guilt or anxiety to hold me back. Weather your focus of nurturing yourself has to do with your physical health or mental wellness, just know that we are all on a quest to be the best version of ourselves.

What is Domestic Violence?

What is Domestic violence? Domestic violence is a crime that almost always has no face or voice,  the victim negates their voice and the criminal remains in the shadows. Domestic violence is the monster that lives under each victims bed and breathes fire into their nightmares in the form of fear, depression,  anxiety, etc. Domestic Violence doesn’t always show up in the form of cuts and bruises on our skin, no the domestic violence I have known and lived is much worse and has produced a  gaping hole in my soul. I lived in a vicious circle of being abused day in and day out, not by physical force – which in my opinion would have been way better than the EMOTIONAL pain that I endured. My domestic violent situation came in the form of venomous words that cut me deeper than any sword could slice flesh. #DomesticViolence does not discriminate against creed nor color, it will not avoid any specific economic class. DV is kin of assault, harassment and even murder and the majority of the ti

clarity in nature 🌿

Disapearing into the woods without a trace ignites my soul, there's something about getting lost just to find yourself that is so beautiful. Today, I wander but I am not lost. Today, I reclaim myself for who I am and not what patriarchy wants to make me believe I am. It's in these moments of solitude that I can breathe deep into mumma earth and feel the pulsating of the ground beneath me. It is in this moment that I am able to grab hold of the woman that is She, the one who has always lived deep in my soul and was nearly forgotten about. Today, She is awakened in me. Today, she has shaken me to my core and She reminds me that the outside world is not what defines me - nor has it ever. My creatrix power has completed its long period of dormance and She is ready to shape with her hands and mold mind and her soul I am her and She is me.
