The Little Girl in Me

The month of February has not been easy.  Filled with sadness, death and decisions ~ some easy, some not.  But through it all, I realized one thing.  I wasn't taking care of me.  So many women do that.  We are born "nurturers" and tend to put others before ourselves making sure everyone else is "ok".  Unfortunately, we tend to neglect our own feelings, thoughts and wants.
As I sat pondering this thought, moving from room to room in my home, I noticed one "constant" in every room.  Something I have NEVER noticed before.  The pictures in my home all have one thing

in common. Do you see it?

  These pictures have all been purchased since my divorce and they all have one common denominator. Have you figured it out yet?

WOW! How had I not noticed that before? And then I remembered a very important lesson that I learned from my life coach, seven years ago.  She had told me to start taking care of the "little girl in me" when I began to rebuild my life.  The person I had neglected the most.  To begin to nurture her, rebuild her and become strong again. She had suggested I put up a picture of myself as a young girl somewhere where I would see it everyday  so as to remember to take care of  "me". I never put snapshot up.  Yet, EVERY new picture I have added to my home has a little girl in it.  Subconsciously, without realizing it,  I had surrounded myself with "myself".  What an AAA HAA moment that was.  I sat there smiling thru my tears, realizing, yep, once again, it was time to love and take care of "the little girl in me".  P.S.  I only need a minor tune up this time :)
