Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

February Update:

Loving and talking kindly to ourselves should be a top priority. February is all about the month of love and what better workshop than this one?! co-leader Renee talked about how we see ourselves is important. We know to speak kindly to others but we often forget to do so to ourselves. Renee spoke about taking a dry erase marker and writing notes to herself on the bathroom mirror. She asked the girls to take a mirror and write love notes to themselves as she recounted some stories from her past that explain why this activity is so critical to our self esteem and overall wellbeing.

Heidi brought them each a specially made ding pop full of goodies inside. Anna brought cookies to decorate so they could show off their artistic skills. They are quite competitive! I’m thinking cupcake wars are in our future

During our workshop some girls wrote letters to themselves and some even shared with us what they wrote on their own mirror and why. Things like I’m beautiful, I’m loving, I’m honest, and I’m lovable. That last one will break your soul in half. They often don’t feel lovable. They feel overlooked, discarded, alone, desperate for attention no matter what kind, unlovable, and unloved. I could go on and on. Their circumstances will wreck you. This work will wreck you. It’s hard and often overwhelming. Sometimes the weight of their sadness is too much.

They are worth it and it’s a million % worth being wrecked. Every. Single. Time.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
