Isn’t that not EVERY DAY?! But let’s do something light-hearted - Post your favourite photo of your pets below 👇

Good morning all of you! 🩷🩷 I am SO ready to begin ‘day one’ of our very first challenge - The Self Love Challenge, no less! I had my tarot cards read last night for the first time during a “Galentine’s” themed event and the key message that came from it was: “You don’t need anyone but yourself to create a life of abundance” It had me really stop and reflect on how I’ve lived my life up until this point - always thinking of others (what would “so and so” think, what if this or that happens, and on and on it has went, for YEARS). Fear drives so many of our actions, doesn’t it? We might do something courageous from time to time - like starting our own business - but for many of us, our actions after that are also, led by fear. Fear of being wrong. Fear of being ridiculed. Fear of not being good enough, or clever enough, or experienced enough. Well, this morning I woke up and I’ve felt like something has shifted. Two Friday’s ago, my dad collapsed and rather than waiting “FOUR hours for an ambulance”, I had to drive him to the hospital - that drive was one of the most scary things I’ve ever had to (and hopefully, will ever have to) do - in those moments, I suddenly understood the difference between: 👉🏻 the fear we manifest in our minds that, with some perspective, isn’t really scary at all 👉🏻 genuine, warranted fear that this is truly a life or death matter Perspective is everything, and life - life is ABSOLUTELY too short. Yes all fear is valid - I teach that in my course, as you’ll know - but the fear that we manifest (the one that is driven by a deep-rooted feeling we aren’t good enough, or important enough to take seriously) can, and should, be used to fuel courage. Courage into stepping more into our vulnerability, opening our hearts to uncomfortable feelings with an understanding that it’s really OK to get things wrong sometimes, and also to start believing that an investment of time into our own health and happiness is not selfish, it’s essential 🙏

I know there are some educational videos posted on nail care, but just wondering what everybody’s preferences are with nail trimmer versus Dremel.or other ways to keep up with nails. Thank you!
