October is Awareness Month

As we journey through October 2024, a month filled with significance, I am filled with joy as I celebrate my little one's birthday. ✨✨✨🎉🥳Happy Birthday, Butt Butt!

This month serves as a time to honor the incredible courage of breast cancer survivors and the resilience of those who have overcome domestic violence. It’s a reminder that this time is about more than just basic self-care; it’s about recognizing and nurturing our own needs with love and compassion.

In a world where, especially in the United States, men often dictate the standards for women’s bodies—particularly after childbirth—it's crucial to focus on self-nurturing and family care. How can we prioritize our well-being amidst these societal pressures?

Drawing from personal experience.  Awareness is important.  Domestic violence awareness is necessary, I also hold a deep appreciation for breast cancer awareness. The journeys of remarkable women in my family who have faced this illness resonate profoundly with me.

Let us strive to break the cycles of self-judgment and negative mindsets that we may inherit and perpetuate. The future of our world relies on our shared commitment to compassion—for ourselves and for one another. Together, we can cultivate a more harmonious existence with each other and our planet.
