A text just came in from a friend who opened up her email to discover self-care reminders from a well-known online coach. She said it made her think of me!
Her self care drop-in happened to be literally the exact vibe i’m on. Thank you, Dina, for sharing.
This morning, I added self care into all the mundane things I was doing in life:
- Podcast, listening while poop-cleaning in the chicken coop.
- Decided to sit on my front porch rocking chair and rock in the sunshine, while cutting up little pieces of paper to put in my compost.
- Took my dog for a short walk around the church, and she decided to roll in bear poop. So then we had an impromptu bath.
- And then I took a shower for myself and sat for some work with a half sandwich that “yesterday me” must have made for ” today me”. Thank you, me!
What a beautiful, however strange, start to the day. It reminds me to welcome the unexpected. Because I’m pretty sure the life we dream of has things we’re not used to in it…. and if we want to stretch, we need to find funny and uplifting ways to acknowledge what’s already here for us.
Accept the beauty in the bear poop!
– Mary 💚
