Being that last week was a week for lovers, I read a lot of stuff about self love. With my new hobby, I can’t help but jump on the bandwagon. Whatever it is you do to take care of yourself … you just have to. We all do.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that one of the first things I read at the beginning of last week was one about self hatred. This post really had me thinking about how I take care of myself. And more importantly, the ways I do not. It’s an ugly truth, but for me, being aware of it is a step in the right direction.

enough hate, bring on the love

If you haven’t been reading the All You Need series over on Ophelias Webb, you really should catch up. But this particular post by Grace Boyle should be deemed unmissable. Remember to take care of yourself, physically and emotionally.

I took a yoga class this weekend for the first time in years. And for the first time as an adult. The practice, the breathing, the overwhelming connectedness and balance I felt is just what I needed.

And I can’t wait to do it again … Thank you, Katie Lou!
