The Pampering Corner
Tell us your stories of how you decided to take the time to pamper
yourself. Did you have a massage, pedicure, spa treatment, facial,
sauna, make-up session, personal trainer, a weekend with the girls,
etc.? Even outdoor adventures. Pass along your ways for other MOBsters
to take care of themselves (body, mind or soul).
Finding Your Outlet and Making Time for it:
Moms
should not neglect the ‘other’ part of them. We all need to find a way
to express ourselves and to use our God-given talents and skills that
give our life a deeper meaning and purpose. For me, it’s writing. For a
good friend of mine, it’s painting. For others, it might be running
races or participating in triathlons ( I thought about that one but
then quickly returned to my sanity). Let us know what helps keep you
from going completely bonkers or send us Websites for places/products
that might help MOBs to find and use their outlet.
