We are often times told to take care of ourselves which would include making sure that we are doing what makes us happy, following our heart's desire, and nurturing our body and spirit. But before we can do all of this, we would need to know more about ourselves. There are many of us caring for others, that we tend to lose who we are and what our needs are. So where do we begin to take care of ourselves if we're not even sure what our needs are. It's important this year to discover the essence of our existence and protect it. We've evolved into meeting the needs of others that we've forgotten that we too have desires to be fulfilled. Know that caring for ourselves will come more easily once we become better acquainted with who we are. Today, be kind to yourself. Before helping another person, do something nice for yourself. Begin protecting your essence by taking a moment to tell yourself that you are special and deserved to be loved.
Sometimes we find comfort in the most strangest places...
(Although the chair looks a little ragged, it's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat on. It fronts a country store in Makawao. Most people would think it's just for decor, but I knew it was there just for me.)
