Esthetic Principles

I wish more women understood that there is a difference between being admired and being well.

People may admire your accomplishments. They may compliment your career, your business, your home, your wardrobe, or the way you seem to have everything together.

What they cannot see is whether your spirit is tired.

They cannot see whether you've been carrying burdens in silence.

They cannot see whether you've forgotten how to rest.

At the end of the day, none of those accomplishments can comfort you the way peace can.

Don't spend so much time building a beautiful life that you forget to build a beautiful relationship with yourself.

One thing age has taught me is that your body will eventually tell the truth your mouth refuses to speak.

You can smile and say you're fine.

You can tell everyone you've got it under control, and you can convince yourself that you'll rest later, but your body keeps the score. It remembers the sleepless nights, the stress, the skipped meals, the worry, the grief, and the years spent putting yourself last.

Pay attention to what your body is telling you. It isn't trying to make life difficult; it's asking for your attention and your care. Listen while the whisper is still a whisper.

You cannot continue to pour from a cup that has been empty for years.

There comes a time when a woman must stop asking herself how much more she can carry and start asking herself what she needs.

The world will take as much as you are willing to give it. It is your responsibility to make sure there is enough left for you.

Take care of yourself. Not next month. Not after the next promotion. Not when things settle down.

Now.
