Self-Care: A Personal Reflection

When I apply skin cream in the morning and night I think of my mother (RIP). When we were growing up she only wore lipstick on occasion , but it was in her later years that she traveled to the city to get her face cream which I found very poignant. She appeared to only focus on self-care when we didn’t need her as much as we did when we were young.

Everyone should try to make time for self-care – whatever that means for you.

Why here, why now?

This charming shop is in Westport Ireland. I didn’t go in that day but the name caught my eye…..

I was on sabbatical when that pic was taken and the memory of that makes me smile.

A really nice shop in Westport is the Leaping Lizard on Bridge St. I bought a gorgeous solar chime there during that time – I heard it tinkle in the shop and remarked that it was like an angel or fairy……now I have one and love its unpredictability. It’s in our north facing room so does not receive much sun and is quiet these days… winter is quieter generally.
