#2: Me First

This morning, I had no idea what gift I was creating

But being the perfect creations we are,

The gift I eventually ended up creating was for myself.

A long-due gift.

It is just what I need!

My attachment to my closed knits is tight.

But, often in supporting them, I go too overboard.

And forget the most important person in that relationship - Me!

Today, was no different.

As I slipped on multiple occasions by pushing myself to the side,

The last incident, like a crazy hurricane, washed up everything in me.

I found myself tattered, unsupported, and exhausted.

From a spiritual lens, I know I am the only one responsible for this state.

Frankly speaking, I have seen this creeping up for a while now.

The overdose of will-power, self-confidence, and "motherly love" didn't make addressing this earlier so critical

But now, it was staring right in my face, asking me, again

"Will you just put yourself first?"

And to this, I finally said, "Yes!"

We receive by giving.

And only by giving myself first,

I will be able to reveal the love, support, respect, and understanding I constantly receive from everyone and everywhere.

This morning I asked,

And when the universe spoke,

I'm glad I heard it finally!

Thank you for the gift!
