Today’s card is not a card at all. It is an image and a quote. A dearheart tagged me on this yesterday. I was so moved because I really needed to hear it.
I’ve been hard on myself lately. Really nagging me about my weight (because it is hurting my back.) Really bashing me about my food choices (because I am intentionally eating things I know I shouldn’t.) Really talking down that girl in the mirror.
And I preach compassion. I state over and over that you, my lovely friends/readers, should love yourself.
What’s that?
What’s good for the reader is good for the writer?
HONK!
Yeah. About that.
So, like I said, I needed to read this. Okay, so I said I needed to hear it first. You know what I mean. 😀
Does your compassion include you?
I’m going to make sure mine does. That will be my mantra.
Today I breathe in compassion. I breathe out regrets. I breathe in love for me. I breathe out shaming myself. I set my feet on the earth with the intention of loving me as much as I love each of you. Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.

A really good quote. I’ve included myself in my compassion in the last decade or so. Beating yourself up about food choices and weigh only makes it worse, and keeps you there. Have you seen what Nichole Kellerman is doing? She has a really good approach to that.
Love the mantra! My compassion includes me on a good day, but not every day is good. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
