“Self care is important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You can not serve from an empty vessel.”
Eleanor Brown
The burden of having a caring heart, is that in the middle of caring for everyone else, you often forget to care for yourself. You find the time and energy to help others accomplish there goals, while leaving your dreams unfulfilled.
Sometimes, you need to steal away to your personal retreat for a little rest, and relaxation. A mental health day to regroup and refocus. Reflect on the things that are important to you, and revisit your goals. Then emerge refreshed and ready to begin again.
In preparing for this blog, I got a tad bit overwhelmed by my blogging responsibilities. I have recently been approved to blog for several events all at once, when I never thought I’d get approved to blog for one. So, facing pending deadlines, and the possibility of being kicked off of one or more blogging teams, I had to put on my best thinking had and figure this shit out. The photos in this series represent my blogging life at the moment: spotty and disorganized. However, with a few amazing prospects and possibilities, I’ve managed to come up with something beautiful š
So today, I say a huge thank you to a few designers. First I want to thank Salacity for supplying me with the amazing Dorm Desk & Chair. This is set is making its debut at the SL Home & Garden Expo, and is available there from now until April 7th. I also want to thank Eclectic for the fun Pumpkin Poufs and Paint Pots that inspired this scene. The poufs and paint pots are available at the Boardwalk Event until April 15th. Moss & Mink was kind enough to supply the Aries Framed Prints that you see in the photo above. You can get them at the Zodiac Event until April 10th.
I owe another huge THANK YOU to The Vintage Touch for the Noir Armchair, Ottoman and Side Table with Prop. I also want to thank The Lost Unicorn Gallery for supplying the art that I used to adorn the walls of my studio. Both stores are offering these items at the SL Home & Garden Expo!
Finally, a shout out to the fine folks at RHUDE, who have the Aries Necklace on sale at the Zodiac Event!
And now that I’ve absolutely exhausted myself trying to keep up, I’m going to go get a nap before I fall asleep over my work again š Happy Shopping everyone! (Very Long) Credits below!
