Clap for yourself!

As a new week is upon us I have decided to begin this week with a discussion about self esteem. Having high self esteem gets me labeled as a bitch. Low self esteem.....well.....that just feels awful. I've been there and done all that. Some people have shared that they feel good about themselves when they accomplish difficult tasks or make a major move like graduating from college or getting a new job. Personally, my self esteem is always boosted after prayer, putting on the right clothing, and some baaaaad (meaning good) earrings, and saying to myself "Girl, you look good".

I feel that if we don't uplift ourselves, nobody else will! It is important to love yourself, forgive yourself, and encourage yourself. The same way you would give someone else a compliment-start with You! As a social worker, writer, volunteer, mother, etc. I lose sight of what makes me "ME". It is important to look good, feel good, and do good.

Ladies, clap for yourself, celebrate any and all accomplishments, and do something for yourself this week.

Until next time, #stayconnected# We are all Connected by Hope!
