It's the Weekend and the Wheel has turned again!

It's the Weekend again.  We all know what that means. 

Self-Care time!  What are you going to do for YOU this weekend?  Have you put aside some time yet to tend to your own needs? 

 

If not do it now!  Even if its only half an hour.

 

Self-Care is not pampering, it is taking the time you need to care for yourself.  We spend all our time caring for the ones we love and rarely take the time we need for ourselves.  When we go week after week busy with everything and everyone we run out of time and energy for ourselves.  So that's why dedicating time on the weekend to ourselves we can refill our tanks and go on with caring for the others in our lives.

 

 This weekend the Wheel turns again.  For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere we have entered the dark months of the year as Winter begins.  Our self-care needs are about nurturing and turning inwards to care for inner self.  It is time to hibernate and stay inside and work on our shadow selves.

 

For our friends in the Northern Hemisphere you have entered Summer so your self-care needs are different.  Get outside and enjoy the warmth and fresh air.  Take your shoes off and walk on the grass feeling mother earth fill you with energy. 

 

By honouring our body's needs in sync with the cycles and seasons of the earth we can create that ever elusive balance that we all seek in our lives. 

 

As with everything in life it is important to us we make it a priority and in doing so create the time, invest the energy into making it a reality. 

 

YOU are important so make yourself a priority, create the time and invest the energy into making your dreams a reality.

 

Make a commitment to yourself to start making YOU a priority.  There is nothing to feel guilty about in taking time out to care for yourself.  Give yourself permission.  Believe me it is worth it. 

 

So on this cold and wet weekend I am going to snuggle up, stay warm and read my book I have been trying to get through for the last couple of months.

 

I would love to hear what you have planned for YOU this weekend.

It's the Weekend!!!

We all know what that means.  It's time to do something for YOU!

Its cold and wet here so this gives me some time work on a couple of UFO's (Un-Finished Objects) that I have laying around.  It seems to have been a theme this week.  I had a few work projects hanging around that I have finished off.

Last weeks Eclipse highlighted that I had jumped in to some projects, exciting as they were, I hadn't followed them through to completion.  Most of them only needed a few little touch ups to finish them off.  The relief and satisfaction from tidying up that never ending To-Do-List is quite exciting freeing up space on that list for new and exciting projects, but that is Monday's job.

For now it is the Weekend and its time to turn that list upside down so I am at the Top!

Have an amazing Weekend everyone and enjoy a little time just for YOU!

Happy Mother's Day Mum!

My sister posted this photo this morning in honour of Mother's Day. These are the amazing, strong and beautiful women of my family. The babies are my Brother and Sister, then there is my Mum, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and my Great Great-Grandmother.

When I think of the challenges each of these women faced during their lives, my troubles seem quite trivial and puts a lot into perspective. Each of them were Military Wives, who raised their families through some of the most extreme times of War and the Depression, just to name a few.

When I look at this photo I am reminded of the Strong Matriarchal family line I have. They faced each challenge with a strength and dignity that I can only aspire to. Within a Patriarchal society these women existed in a strong Matriarchal family.

Mother's Day brings up mixed emotions for me now. As Mum I look forward to seeing my beautiful girls today and sharing a wonderful afternoon with my family, as a daughter tears well as I remember my beautiful mother who is with me in my heart today, and everyday.

Happy Mother's Day Mum!
