“Acknowledging your own needs first will allow you to help others … This is sanity, not selfishness.”
~Joan Borysenko, PhD

This is the year of that for me.  Dropping the fear of selfishness and stepping into the bravery of self care/love.

It’s quite a lovely feeling.  I feel as if there were much more space inside of me.  Now, instead of a short view of the day/week, my horizons have opened up and I feel fresh mountain air blowing through them.

I am daily more excited about the possibilities in front of me.  And I get to choose anything that makes me feel good, and not just a little good, but jumping up and down and whirling around good. 

I am not obligated in this space of my life to much and I am working to release all obligation.  Prisons are built on feelings of obligation.  I should, would, could, ought to and more are like pieces of confetti and I toss them into the air.

Now, I am doing what I really want and if I find I don’t want to, I get to change course.  In some ways I feel like a really full river moving out of her banks and into new terrain.

Breathe.
