I'm headed to the bookstore tomorrow, so, don't know, maybe a new book, I don't know, maybe some perfume. I'm not sure. But I'm getting something, and you should, too. Bye

Self love and self care is definitely something that I don't think is talked about enough. And I'm grateful for this platform to be able to share this type of information and these type of topics because from my stance, it's just really just in an effort to really empower each other and build each other up

Unless we don't take care of ourselves, whether it's mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, we're going to have a problem. So anyway, thank you so much for posting this. I really appreciated your post. Thank you so much

Absolutely, Evelyn. And, oh, yeah, definitely happy belated birthday to you as well. Thank you for the birthday wishes and the birthday shout out. But yeah, I too am also a two time divorcee. And, you know, my current relationship that I've been in now, I've been in this relationship for like, this is year five

I enjoy listening to you, to other people, so that everybody gets a little bit of time in order to say the things that they need to say. And then I learned so much. So I'm really grateful for you today. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you. And you know what? Yeah, this is my third marriage. Hopefully this is the last one because I waited 17 years in between the last one. I waited 13 years in between the last one and this one

And when I tell you they were worth every penny, they were worth every penny. I don't have any buyers remorse after buying these shoes. I'm telling you. I mean, they were worth every penny. I noticed a tremendous difference when I came off the stage. I didn't have tired legs. I didn't have tired feet, I didn't have sore legs and things like that. It was a blessing

Hey, sis. Thank you for this. I had never heard of those shoes, but of course, I don't run, so I don't know anything about them. But you know what? That's wonderful. And you are absolutely right that we have to give ourselves something we want, not just something we need. Because when I was doing this well, and then I got off and I was thinking about what the heck did I buy myself most recently for me?

What a really nice post. I am actually going to treat myself tomorrow to a manny and petty at a salon

It's. Now, that sounds nice. That sounds amazing, girl. You go in there and you get a nice manipetty, get the color that you want, relax and be blessed because that sounds amazing and relaxing and beautiful and just time that you deserve for yourself. So very good. Like, very good

You. I love this. I am such a self care advocate who it took a long time to get there, but I love it now. I just went and bought myself or got myself a pedicure last week and it's been almost a year and a half. And I'm a little ashamed to say that because I usually do, like every two weeks, but I was in such high stress, high intensity, I couldn't focus on the self care as much as I tried

You. Yeah. I just want to encourage you that since you've tapped back into that, stay tapped in, try to make it a normal thing again, you know what I mean? And you'll feel like you feel more often. Oftentimes, we get out of situations and we get out of certain spaces that we need to be in. But once we get back in touch with those spaces and it rejuvenates, it's important to kind of try to keep those things up

I give and give and give, and sometimes there's a few people that will take advantage of that and they don't mind asking for my time or wanting me to help them with certain things. And I'm learning to say, no, this is what I really want to do right now. In fact, was it you that I was talking to about this when I first joined swellcast about doing a coloring book? It seems like it was you
Evelyn Phipps
@LadyFi · 0:52
Hey, Shay. Yes. I am an advocate of trying to do something nice for yourself. You know, like I said, my dad always told me, do something for yourself because if you don't do anything for yourself, you're going to regret getting up in the morning and going to work. And we don't want to do that, right? So my dad always said when you get your check, pay, God, pay yourself and then you can pay all your bills, too

@LadyFi · 1:36
But I did hear you say that you're a giver, that you have grandchildren, that you love art supplies, and that you're learning to say no and to put up boundaries. And that in itself is a gift to ourselves because it's a reward to be able to take back our time, reclaim our time, set boundaries for people. And yes, it was me that you were talking to in regards to a coloring book

I really appreciate that, sir. It means more to me than you could even imagine. And I am definitely going to take heed, listen, and do what's needed for me. Thank you

You. Absolutely. You're welcome. And you know it's necessary. I promise you, you'll like the results

And that was my fault. That was a me thing. So I'm grateful for that wisdom and that knowledge that grew from those bad experiences. But, yeah, continued blessings and favor to you and your husband on your marriage and your children and everything, that you guys will continue to grow and go in the favor of the Lord and that he'll continue to keep each and every one of you. Continued blessings and favor to

Because if more people will realize that, we will be a little bit happier, and it's unfortunate that some people have time and space in our life and they're taking up room that other people could be in where we could be happy. And that's what we need to realize and recognize the fact that we need somebody else in that space. So thank you for the blessings for me and my husband and my children, because this is the third go around, and I think I'm done

Oh yeah absolutely. It's definitely a learned behavior especially when you're given by nature and it's something that you just automatically do and you automatically give off and it's unfortunate that you know having a good heart and being obedient oftentimes causes us to have a broken heart or have broken spaces in our life but yeah you know you got to take all of those things and build off of them and make them work for your good afterwards
