TGIF! Extreme Self-Care – Food for thoughts…

We reach, we reach, we finally reach…. it’s the end of the week. TGIF!!! Rejoice!!!

Well… are we rejoicing?

In this day and age, where we are bombarded with information, and pressured to do everything faster and better and the list goes on…. the pressure can become insane. We’re shallow-breathing and stressed out. We’re just moving around like robots from one task to the next, trying to win the elusive rat-race.

Many years ago, my awesome “Sistuh” Callie (May her beautiful soul rest in peace), gave me a book by Cheryl Richardson called "Take time for your life” (you can also see it below in my Amazon Picks section on the right). That book changed a lot of things for me over the years, little by little, and even with everything that I’ve learned in there over time, I still often find myself NOT taking time for my life.

About a year ago, I heard about Cheryl’s incredibly beautiful Grace cards and I have to say that I find them not only really beautiful and inspiring to look at (the cover of the deck below is just one example – the artwork on each of the cards is absolutely divine), but I also find them very helpful and insightful.

I pick one at random every day to see what the cards have to say to me, and for a moment, I stop… read the message…feel… breathe deeply… and think about what the card says, and it makes me feel better. It puts things in perspective, and often, it reminds me of something I really need to do.

My card for today was: “Presence – Bring your mind into present-moment time. Now is the only place to be.”

I have a strong tendency to plan ahead and forget about being in the ‘present time’, so this card means a lot to me. I highly recommend Cheryl's beautiful cards and her books. They're on sale on Amazon.com at a great price.

It’s Friday… TGIF… Let’s all rejoice in the present and enjoy it to the fullest!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all my wonderful friends in the States!
