We’re like fine wine- we get better with age!
Happy Birthday Beautiful Mama! 🥳♥️🥂

Feeling so grateful for all of the happy birthday love 🥰 In all of my 38 years, I've not felt so... comfortable in my own skin. There's definitely some degree of truth in that as we grow older... it matters less and less- what other people think of us (not in a psychotic way though lol there's got to be conscientiousness). It's such a gift... when we relax into the flow, we accept everything with more grace. We can allow all of life to become a teacher... each moment is a learning opportunity. We can appreciate the organic paradoxical balance of it all. In accepting the inevitability of pain, we are free to enjoy pleasure, in accepting the fact that not everyone will like us or agree with us... we free ourselves from the burden of people pleasing and can see who our truest friends are.

My Birthday Wish has better odds of coming true if I do not keep it to myself.

I wish Temperance for everyone... especially in the way of social media communications.
A Stoic Virtue among Wisdom, Courage and Justice that it seems many people have forgotten or never learned. It's about staying centered in your heart, practicing self control, moderation, and embodied consciousness. There's a war going on and not even everyone participating is human, there are ever-present webs of lies woven throughout propaganda, and unnecessary opinions in disgusting excess.

Before you say anything... please ask yourself...
✨Is it true? (If you don't know what something means go learn more from a trustworthy source.)
✨Is it necessary? (Will anything good come of it?)
✨Is it kind? (It IS possible to disagree with someone or affirm boundaries and still remain dignified with respect.)

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." -My dear sweet MomMom 🪽

Sports as a life metaphor... part three... If you have not been following my train of thought well... toot toot! go on back a few posts and get on board lol.
So if life... just as in sports... has defensive and offensive actions to care ones self... with varying degrees of how legendary your success in life will be... tell me.

🏈WHAT IS THE BALL?!🏈
What is the holy sacred nectar that you do all this for, you protect it, nurture it?

For me it's happiness. A blend of my inspiration to keep rising, learning and expanding... balanced with grateful contentment of what is... and appreciation of everything it took to get here now.

If defensive self care looks like the ways that we maintain, protect, and service ourselves, our surroundings and our property... it looks like these are ways that we appreciate and respect what we have. So inside of my sports metaphor... offense expressions of self care must exist also. These are proactive WINS... where we go out into the world intentionally making it better, doing better, and being better. Here are some examples of how I'm looking at it...
✨ Waking up early — creating space for clarity and purpose before the noise of the world.
✨ Going to the gym — strengthening your body for vitality and longevity.
✨ Journaling — processing, creating awareness, and refining your inner dialogue.
✨ Therapy — doing the work to grow, heal, and break old patterns.
✨ Going to work and earning income — building stability and empowerment.
✨ Achieving goals that carry you into a richer, more meaningful life.
✨ Adding dignified value to the world — leading with integrity instead of conflict.
✨ Volunteering, mentoring, or creating art — acts that make life better for others while honoring your spirit.

What do you consistently do to proactively grow better in your life? The lives of your loved ones? The community you live in? The world?

Here are a few ways that self care can show up as self defense... including some things you maybe didn't think of as 'self care' till now!

✨Moisturizing your skin is the first line of defense from the elements.
✨Massage & yoga help release tension, preserve your health and fortify you for another round of life.
✨Reframing guilt around rest is an act of rebellion against a system that can become all consuming.
✨Saying no, can simply preserve your energy for things that really matter for you.
✨Budgeting your spending defends your earnings. 💸
✨Good oral hygiene defends your mouth from decay and disease.
✨Intelligent fashion choices can literally be armor... sunglasses, raincoat, winter boots for the snow etc.
.. You get it...
What are some examples that you can think of?
