MAKING YOURSELF
A PRIORITY IN
YOUR OWN LIFE
......... And that does not mean you are being selfish!

PLEASE APPLY YOUR OWN OXYGEN MASK FIRST

Isn't that what they tell us on the airplanes? Why?
Because you can't help anybody
if your basic needs are not being met.
You've heard this over and over again.
Simple, true and yet we forget.

One doesn't just need air, food, shelter and clothing
to be completely well rounded and healthy.
You need good thoughts in your mind and
in your heart and you need a purpose.
Something in how you spend your time
and talent that you recognize as significant
and valuable. Even if nobody else does.

So........... Why do we all struggle with this?

The reasons are as varied as we women ourselves.
You know your own reasons.

Feed and replenish your self with good thoughts, ideas
and wonder at how
extraordinary the ordinary can be.

We at housewifemafia.com hope that you find

that is already within you.

A big part of feeling good about how you live
your life is having your daily actions in harmony
with your hopes and beliefs.
