Last week was about doing something for yourself and last week I really did. Now Mother assisted in that thang by giving me four days of “Summer Time Chi” in April and baby I took advantage.

I yoni sunned in the front window and did yoga in the grass. I went for walks, alone and with the boys. I watched my boys jump on the trampoline FOR HOURS. I did some yard work and I had a few lake shore drive dates too. Only thing was missing was some Mexican corn!

The weather helped me remember balance and getting out and away from work and momming and doing things I like just for me though. I really love what I do, so I work too much. I really love my boys so I wanna do everything “kid focused”. I really get tired of taking care of business sometimes though. Being “on” at all times is exhausting. I was asked: when do you relax? Now, my love, now.

The adjustments I made it do it for myself week are staying. Work now has a hard stop at 6:30, No exceptions! But I’m shooting to be off at 5! My boys and I have set date nights and each get one on one time too. But, I’ll be having Mommy nights too when they can’t go and I won’t have to wait until they are sleep, we dropping babies off to grandmas round here (we’ll talk tomorrow on why I had such an issue with a simple break) and being just a woman. Not boss lady. Not land lady. Not mama. Not even his lady.

Just being me, a woman, the lady that likes to hug trees and listen to the water and shine sun or moonlight in her face. I won’t forget her being everything for them. I will take the time for me. Step away for me. Get lit for me. Get rest for me. Disappear for me. DND for me. I may sun my titties next FOR ME!

Nevertheless these four weeks of the self love challenge have been amazingly rewarding. I look at me and see me so differently. I see what they see now. People been saying I’m glowing. I like to say I’m growing and glowing, and I do it for myself!

Thank you ladies of S.E.L.F. for another successful challenge! 🫶
