When I was about 8 or 9 years old and living in Florida, I gathered my cousins and sister around me. We sat on tree stumps, and I would preach, “Fire and Brimstone” to them. We played church, because we were taken on Sundays, to a small wooden church, that stood on limestone rocks and we drew from that. Remembering every Sunday, the Baptist preacher would always preach, “Fire and Brimstone” sermons. It was scary, but very effective. I didn’t realize that…

Is Self Care Selfish?
Is Self Care, Selfish? My answer would be absolutely not. In the case of a person who is self absorbed, they would qualify as selfish. Self care of our mentality, spirituality and physical body needs is important.

We all need self care to help us unwind from the events that surround us on a daily basis. Lately, there are many stressful situations, that causes us to tense up. We will stay that way, if…
