The We forget about

In a world that fetishsize and sensationalize relationships with others, why does no one ever say; "the only relationship that matters is the relationship we have with ourselves.

Do you coward in your feelings instead of speaking up and speaking out your truth?

Do you find yourself constantly worrying and thinking something that you may have said to someone, has hurt their feelings or even the other way around?

We forget about ourselves, the person that we get up and lay down with everyday, the person that listens to everyone else's problems while over looking and shrugging their own issues to the side. We never take the time to think about ourselves and when we do, it is at the point of evisceration. Nothing...is left, we have offered it all to someone else, hoping for a even exchange of energy. Yet, what we receive is another opportunity to give, give more of what we have given away. We forget about ourselves...

I received an email yesterday with the subject line, "Letting Go is a form of Self Care" I didn't read the contents because I don't read other peoples blogs, or newsletters of people that I don't follow personally ( the email was forwarded to me) I took a personal stand to read nothing that my spirit has not already led me to...Why? It's a form of Self Care.

 I have intentionally called people into my life for one of two reasons, a reason or a season. I have friends that send me articles or clippings from blogs,  magazines, newsletters that I already read or the writers of theses magazines, blogs are friends or mentors of mine in some shape form of fashion or I am already a follower of the article. However, I don't read anything that is probably telling me something that I already know or have already written and posted right here in this forum. No disrespect to the writer, I just prefer to author my own life, story, and the title alone let me know that it was going to entail something I am already living, know and expressed in my personal life.

See, apart of my Self Care process as a healer, writer, poet, artist, performing, coach, expressionist is NOT to take in anyone I know would not take in me.  Self care is keeping my personal space sacred, my diet balanced and that includes what I read. I know that is crazy but the Internet is full of a lot of people with a lot of followers but I don't care about the amount of followers you have because the world is trendy and although people say they aren't fickle and superficial that is exactly what they are... Because a single woman that is a mother, that is not married has been saying the same thing a married woman is now saying but because that woman is married you slang her words like crack through email forwards and re-post her shit like she's the messiah! and in some way she is but not to me... The most Freeing form of Self Care for me is knowing when someone is checking for you and when they are not, you simply become "the "We" forget about"

Don't make the people in your life feel like the We forget about, support them, love them enough to share their work, their words, don't be hateful towards them because you aren't growing... don't disrespect
them by not being honest with yourself to know that you are not there yet.

It is my Hope that this new season is moving you in the way that the Wind feels you need to be blown!

    Love and Light!
