Self-care. The questions were simple, yet baffling. "What do you do to care for yourself?" My mind was blank. "Umm, I think I shaved my legs last weekend?" My first Christmas as a single mom of eight children was approaching. "What do you want your holidays to look like?" "What traditions do you want to create for your life?"
For some reason this thought was like experiencing light for the first time. You mean I Have a choice? I was painfully aware of how my life was, but I had not given any thought to the idea that it could be different and that I could create something new. I had been in survival for so long, that this idea was a life-altering revelation!
