Most moms feel the nasty sting of guilt at some point in their mothering career. For me, it bites me hardest when I do something for myself, be it play a game on the computer, call a friend or enjoy a glass of wine. Why is it, I wonder, that we as women question whether or not we "deserve" something? We "deserve" to be kind to ourselves simply because we are PEOPLE!!
It's an ongoing lesson for me, that I deserve and REQUIRE kindness and self care/self love!!

Time to recover
As a mom, woman, entrepreneur and employee, taking the time out from a busy schedule to actually allow my body to recover from an illness is much easier said than done. Currently, I have no voice, as my vocal chords have been affected by issues with my tonsils. I'm finding it extremely challenging not to start cleaning, organizing, something to get busy, rather than allowing myself the time to rest and recover.
I have so many customer calls I'm needing to do. There is paperwork to organize and a kitchen that is filled with dishes and sippy cups that need washing. My body is working so hard to fight off this infection, I know I should allow it to do it's job without the added stress of cleaning the house. Again, much easier said than done!
