First off, I really haven't read much poetry but I want to! I do remember as a child, I liked to write little letters and invitations to my siblings for various things in rhyming style, I had so much fun 😆 But, that's about as far as my knowledge of poetry goes... haiku...ha-WHAT?! Embarrassed to say I definitely need more than a little refresher! And that's after my daughter came home from school last year telling me about haikus! Brain = black hole. 😂 And SECOND... Self Care vs. Self Compassion... SUCH a powerful distinction!!! 🤯 I'm so glad you shared this 🙏 because I know I can deff go through the "self care" motions to check a box without doing a damn thing for myself lol

Your reflections ALWAYS strike a chord with my SOUL!! Me TOO on the self care “routines” that leave me crabby and in a worse mood than before I began 🤣

Self compassion is such a test!

And haiku- Hi-what 😂😂😂 you got me!! I want to get back into poetry too.

SHARE RECCS if you happen upon any keepers!

Happy Halloween you Queen!

I hope this day brings you many unexpected treats. You deserve the world on a platter. Xx
