It’s hard to believe that another month has flown by. February is usually a time for love and romance, flowers, and chocolates. And snowstorms. All great things, except maybe that last one.

AND, what if we work on filling up our own cups this month (and every month)? Many of us give and give, but forget to give back to ourselves. How can you keep giving if your cup is empty? If you are a person who tends to put your own needs last, this month I want to encourage you to fill your cup first.

We’re still deep in winter, cold, and dark. What is something you can do to take care of yourself? Something that truly brings you calm, restoration, and even joy.

Remember it’s ok to do something you enjoy, purely for the fun of it. Leave the to-do list behind for just a bit and pause.
