Means Self AcceptanceTamera Beardsleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00855427513744644731noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-39258776432911057102012-10-31T12:30:42.105-07:002012-10-31T12:30:42.105-07:00I need to be better at taking care of myself. I...I need to be better at taking care of myself. I'm not good at either of your lists... but, honestly, the first one is harder for me. It's finances and circumstances, true, but it's also me putting other people before myself, so much so that I forgot who I was. If I have no sense of self, then I have no style, no outlets, no motivation or inspiration. I know now, after some pain from neglecting myself, that I can't take care of others if I'm not taking care of myself, so I'm trying to get it back, my 'self.' I'm trying to find those things. Thanks for the reminder of it's importance.Anne aka Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613789485828889599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-33115029951894619362012-10-01T04:27:23.761-07:002012-10-01T04:27:23.761-07:00What a gorgeous articulation of the foundations of...What a gorgeous articulation of the foundations of self-care. I completely agree that overarching kindness is the way forward. <br />Attending to the physical basics - sleep, nourishment, movement - cannot be underestimated. Caring for our bodies' needs allows us to do our clearest thinking and best decision-making, including boundary-setting, seeking out respectful environments and balancing work / play / creativity. <br />Thank you for your wisdom, Tamera. <br />Amber of Butane Anvilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085975055424100573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-32440664814797754302012-09-27T19:43:29.777-07:002012-09-27T19:43:29.777-07:00Dear Tamera,

I used to think kindness was a natural attribute, but as I age, I realize that kindness is a skill that takes practice, and plenty of liberal application. Thanks, Tamera, for saying it to beautifully.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-44446230893810679232012-09-27T13:42:45.967-07:002012-09-27T13:42:45.967-07:00Beautiful words, as always. Self care, my new man...Beautiful words, as always. Self care, my new mantra. Perfection is not being perfect it is being the best you. Look at an old rugged piece of granite, pocked and rough, different colors and textures and breathtaking in it's roughness and natural state. If we could all only remember that even in our rough state we are beautiful works in progress. taking on dings, dents, weathered and worked each day into something new and lovely, gaining knowledge,growth to be honed into the beings we are put here on earth to be. Thank you for sharing your soul and keep taking care of the lovely, Tamera. xo Barb<br />Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996555177323656577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-62110024976158698242012-09-27T13:30:29.776-07:002012-09-27T13:30:29.776-07:00Dear Tamera

I'm not so good at English and afraid to comment emotions in a different language can be misunderstood - but I will say that the way you have walked was not easy but you have come through and thanks for sharing. For me it has always been important to have a room of my own. Women have always had to adapt to the other. And just to expose themselves through clothing and blogging is taking its space back. Thank you.<br />I hope you understand meAnne-Marie Bruunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008745921646187566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926693259891960139.post-37186587826334107702012-09-27T12:47:52.746-07:002012-09-27T12:47:52.746-07:00Thank you for sharing your story Tamara.
