BEAUTIFUL IN ALL SEASONS

It's not easy serving self when her needs were always put last.  Why is putting self first such a difficult thing to do for someone like me?  It's okay! I tell myself as I practice self care.

Life seems to have a new definition, we say. But did the definition of life change or we just didn't make the opportunity to know the definition that always existed? Clarity! Change is inevitable, seasons come and go. We set our minds on the exciting vision, unfortunately along the journey we meet disappointments. However, I say this, seasons change but you don't have to.  Yes we can get emotional about it, but I pray no matter what, we (at the core)  naturally respond to life. What am I saying? I say if you are too loving, too nice, too forgiving, no matter, don't change. There are reasons why you care, serving others is one of ...
