December Momtra: I place the oxygen mask on myself first, 3x.
Blink and they’re grown, right?
Giving our kids happy childhood memories (aka a happy parent) and modeling self-love (aka listening to what we need/want) is done by giving to ourselves…first. Yes, first. We are not #2 (that story was fabricated). On the contrary, it’s never been more important to be our own #1.
What was that about not being able to love others until we love ourselves?
And on that yes to self the happiness of my family resides.
To your happiness!
