Words for Reflection... From the leaders in:

Self Compassion

"Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and be who you are." -Brene Brown

"Self Compassion is a more effective motivator than self criticism because it's driving force is love, not fear." -Kristen Neff

"If we want to fully experience love and belonging, we must believe that we are worthy of love and belonging." -Brene Brown

Hint: Look for books by these authors if you need a little more on this topic.

Rainy Day Box

A Rainy Day Box is a collection of items used to comfort yourself. It's something to have close by for those moments you really need it. Fill it with things you love. Things that bring you joy or inspiration. Images and symbols that soothe your pain and remind you of who you are.

We hope ours brightens your day a little, or at least provides inspiration to create a real one of your own at home.

Remember, pain is inevitable... Suffering is optional.
