Day 2, 3, 4, 5 ~ I LOVE ME Challenge
I cannot express how happy it makes me to open all the comments, facebook messages and tweets telling me of the love people are giving themselves! I have also loved all the dialogue that has occurred because of this challenge. People truly assessing how often they forget themselves in the hustle bustle...how it doesn't work to forget yourself...how much happier, more loving, more giving everyone feels when they have taken time for themselves too!
All I can say is, HERE HERE!!! I am so grateful you are all participating along with me, whether posting your loves or not (I know who you are out there...playing along without telling:) It has helped me be accountable to taking care of myself through this busy time chez Zdunich!
On that note...Day 2 ~ I spent some time pulling images out of magazines getting ready for some art journaling...or maybe for a canvas I have been hiding away. To be decided when I am inspired another I LOVE ME evening:)
Day 3 ~ GIRLS NIGHT! Each year, the girls and I get together for our *book club* dinner. You know, I saw a quote once that said "My wine club has a book problem" and I think they may have been to our book club:) It was wonderful! Giggles. Yummy food (which I got to eat hot!!! Thanks Nicole!!!). Isn't a night out with dear friends the best?
Day 4 ~ I closed the computer early. Put away the work. Forgot about the laundry waiting for me. Snuggled with my love watching the finale of Survivor. Total trash. Totally enjoyable!
Day 5 ~ After a morning that left me feeling ready to pull out my teeth, I decided that the I LOVE ME event of the day needed to be integrated into my day!!! I promptly packed up the kiddos and headed for the beach. The ocean has always been a source of calm for me...summer or winter! It was perfect. We headed down to the stunning Witty's Beach with bucket and pail in hand, bundled up ready for the fabulously, fresh sea air.
Witty's Beach windy, wintertime wonderfulness!
Perfection! Just what this mumma's heart needed!
And you...what loveliness have you been giving yourself?
Until tomorrow, dear hearts!

Being away in Ontario with family has been both nurturing and at times a wee bit challenging.
For my I LOVE ME moments I have been:
- Playing disc golf, getting lots of frosty air exercise
- Deep breathing exercises
- Listening to Liz's morning meditation recording (did that on the airplane to keep nerves calm)
- Receiving a massage from my sweetie, just what I needed after a full day of traveling across the country!
With the hustle and bustle of the holidays and being surrounded by people, these moments of Me Time are soooo welcomed :)
Thanks for officially initiating this challenge Liz! It's helping keep the holiday stress to a minimum!
