This morning I noticed a new Substack subscriber named Yvonne, spelled exactly the way my mom spelled her name.I took a photo, not for proof, but for presence.Our loved ones reach us in the quietest, most personal ways. A name. A moment. A feeling that lands softly and reminds us we’re still connected.Not everything is a coincidence. Some things are simply love finding a way through.

Message: Choose Yourself TodayThis card is a reminder that self-care begins with permission. Permission to take up space. Permission to rest. Permission to stop denying your own importance.Choosing yourself doesn’t mean abandoning others. It means honoring your needs before you reach depletion. It means listening when your body, heart, and spirit ask for care.Today’s message is simple but powerful: You matter. Your needs matter. And you don’t need to justify that.Let this be your sign to pause, breathe, and choose yourself, even in small ways.💗 Self-Care February continues all month.

Self-Love February's Nervous System Awareness Exercise

WEEK 1 – AWARENESS & GENTLENESS
Feb 1–7

Practice:
Hand to heart. Hand to belly.
Ask: What do I need this week to feel safe?

Take a few moments each day to place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.
Begin to slow your breath, allowing yourself to gently return to your center.
With each four-count inhale, imagine energy rising and filling this space with calm, steady flow.
Pause and hold the breath for a count of four, giving that energy time to settle and take up space within your body.
Then exhale slowly for a count of four, releasing tension and allowing yourself to soften and decompress.
This simple practice supports parasympathetic activation, helping regulate the nervous system and gently reset the vagus nerve, bringing the body back into a state of safety and ease.

Optional tools: journal, breathwork, gentle stretching.

This month, we’re slowing down and returning to ourselves. Instead of focusing on external validation or Valentine’s expectations, February is dedicated to self-care, emotional honesty, energetic boundaries, and nervous system support.

Each day offers a simple, intentional practice, gentle reminders to rest, reflect, release what isn’t yours, and reconnect with what truly nourishes you. There’s nothing to fix, achieve, or prove here, only space to listen, soften, and choose yourself with compassion.

This is self-love as a practice, not a performance.
Core energy:�Self-trust • Boundaries • Nervous system care • Gentle truth • Choosing yourself
This month isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about coming home to yourself.

Feb 1st-Set the Tone
Choose one word you want February to feel like. Write it somewhere visible. Think about how you want to set up your month with an empowering word that describes what this month will feel like. Then place it somewhere you can see it daily as a reminder to stay focused on your goals.

Return to Sender Candle
💗 Self-Love February Special 💗

This candle was created as a reminder that what isn’t yours to carry doesn’t get to stay. It is important this month to reclaim your power and focus your energy inward. What energy are you holding onto that isn’t yours to keep? The time is now to let go and send that energy back to the proper place, from a space of love and light, or healing for the other person or situation. If you have learned the lessons, then LET THEM GO!

Infused with orange & cinnamon for protection, grounding, and empowerment, the Return to Sender candle helps you release energetic cords, redirect negativity, and reclaim your peace, without force, fear, or guilt.

Let February be about choosing yourself, your energy, and your boundaries.
No chasing. No explaining. Just returning what never belonged to you.

$12 each, not including shipping and handling, if purchased through Jaime at Shades Of Spirit LLC. Limited quantities available. PRICES VARY FROM OUTSIDE VENDERS.
