Being your own advocate!

 I may have shared this message before but just remember no one takes care of you except for you. You can have the best spouse in the world the most amazing friends the best family and support system but you are your own advocate, remember that. 

 You need to stand up for yourself whether that means at work, your personal life, taking care of yourself- emotionally, physically, mentally whatever it is you have to advocate for yourself.

I write tonight from a place of utter exhaustion, because  I have not  advocated for me and I've put myself last.  A job is just a job, the laundry will always be there; but you and I we are the rare gems in this world and we need to be shined, polished and treasured!  

Love yourself, advocate for yourself and don't forget to take care of yourself.

Love,
