Give yourself a heart

To all my female friends....

Give yourself a valentine this year.

We often forget how awesome we really are. In the process of nurturing our mates, our children, our extended family, and our friends we become cooks, maids, teachers, nurses, chauffeurs, psychologists, and then some.

As we flop into bed at the end of the day we realize that we had no time for self care. We promise ourselves that tomorrow we'll reserve time for that cup of tea and magazine or a pedicure or a bubble bath. Yet tomorrow never comes...

So, dear friend, wrap your arms around your torso and give yourself a huge hug. Find a mirror, look deep into your eyes and remind yourself of the many awesome attributes that describe your incredible, loving, giving nature. Pucker your lips and give yourself a hearty smooch.

Love and adore yourself.
