you, yes you

Be gentle with yourself as you step through this week.  The to do list may be growing.  The dishes may need to be washed.  The laundry may be piling up.  But remember to set aside time for you, yes YOU.  I know you are so busy thinking of others this time of year that you forget to think about yourself.  

You deserve a moment.  A slice of time dedicated to whatever you desire.  A warm cup of tea.  A brief moment outside looking up at the stars while you make a wish.  A walk around the block.  Time dedicated to working out or making something.  Take the time to do whatever makes you smile.  Remember when your heart is happy and you are filling your soul you bring so much more to the table when you are around others. Do not forget to fill up your soul.  

You bring so much goodness to this world
Never forget that
Your big glowing heart bestows joy and love onto others
Your kindness is appreciated
Your love is undeniable
You are a gift to this world

Know and believe this
Tend to this soul that is so brilliant and bright
Nourish it with love and kindness
Care for it
Be gentle with it
And know that when you love yourself
You are opening up for more love from the world
