Self Care is not selfishness You cannot serve from an empty vessel. Take care of yourself, or you will have nothing left to give to others…
I believe that your hardest times often lead to the greatest moment of your life. If you are feeling hopeless, depressed and lonely, there is hope on the other side of the horizon.
