The Path Awaits You
One of the real treats I was offered as a child was a “discovery ride”. My father would take me on a jaunt that did not include a preconceived destination. The goal was to travel roads we had not been on to see sights we had never before witnessed. We might travel on major highways, backroads, or even gravel and dirt roads. And the trip might last a couple of hours, an afternoon, or all day. Every trip was unique as were the sights we discovered. It was tremendous fun. I never lost my love and fascination for this kind of road trip and which I still hold today. On my most recent trek, I discovered the Red House Presbyterian Church established in 1756. The cemetery behind the church contained graves of very early settlers who lived when our state was still a colony.
The Most Obnoxious Roommate: You
Yourself. Can’t live with you, can’t live without you. And that can be exhausting from time to time. Maybe it’s that pervasive sense of constantly questioning everything that you do.
Why Self-Care?
Self-care is something most women did not grow up learning about. We weren’t taught it or modeled it. No wonder most of the women who show up in my counseling office have not developed good self-care strategies. Most of them admit they feel selfish when they put their own needs or wants before those of their family, even in something like pursuing counseling.
