After dropping Moby off with Pam, our favorite child care taker, and after sitting to talk with her for at least 20 minutes... She just has such a wonderful loving presence... I headed out for my first all ME day in a long while. I hope that Josh takes these too.
Self care 101.
Doing things that fulfill the self.
Step one- get out of home where you feel surrounded by all of the projects you feel you have to do. Feed, kiss, potty dogs.
Step two- on a whim, grab your old-fashioned camera, consider photo-journaling.
Step three- be in awe of self regarding that you waited this long to get coffee. Peet's. Because while you were at Pam's home her husband Mike called from there and it sounded like a good place to stop. Clean car out, take photo.
Step four- drive south, you are not sure why. You forgot to tell moniqUe you would not be at work today, pull over, text her. Look at list you made pre-self care day to determine next step.
Step 5- realize that #1 you want to get your practice going. Go to Antioch, the place that makes this possible for you. Go there, take photo.
Step 5- break for lunch at Cafe Venus with Katy, Max and Marisa during last days of Katy's ownership of CVMB. TAKE PHOTO.
step 6- back to Antioch to complete all the busy work! transcripts, coursework, supervision requests and contacts
Step 7- text Josh in anticipation of dinner celebration- PHO!
Step 8- get and address envelope
Step 9- mail it
This process is not nearly close to being done with all the marketing and set up I want to do but such a big major step has put it in moooottttionnnnn!!! Yay me! Seriously, yayyyyyyyyy me!
Dreams are turning into my reality right before my eyes!
Mamaste!
This helps me be a better mom by being an even better example for my son...
