Is the above question something that you have thought about recently? I’m not talking about you going shopping and buying shoes, dresses, jeans or other material items. Nor am I talking about attending a big gala affair, dressed to the hilt! Now don’t get me wrong these things are good in their place; however they probably won’t make your heart sing for hours or days.

I am talking about  something that fed your soul; made you smile inwardly; made you feel calm and at peace.  Lowered your blood pressure and had you humming to yourself. You see my experience has been that what can bring this experience to my soul usually can’t be brought.  Many times I can’t even put into words what it is I am experiencing, but I know my soul and spirit are at peace with what is happening.

One of my friends commented on my  Self Love  Self-Esteem article by saying she had been inspired to go to a movie by herself; another said she took a deep breath ( which is always calming) and went to work.  It appeared that just “being reminded” that we need to take care of ourselves was motivation enough for most of us to take immediate action.

Oh, did I use the word action? I wonder why action has to be part of this discussion? The reason I think it’s important is to say:  always taking action to take care of others, without nuturing YOU gets old after awhile. ”We forget who we are being everything to everyone else.” We forget what we like; how to play; do nothing for half an hour and so on and so on. You get what I’m saying! 

On Facebook today I wrote  ”You will never find time for anything. If you want time you have to make it!” I have found this to be true for me many times. How about you?

I am asking that you make time to make your soul sing during the coming days.  Pick something that doesn’t cost very much or is free. I am going to do what one of my friends said she does; take a long luxury bath.  I can’t wait!

Until next time, love, peace, hope and joy,
