I shall cook again … someday

I haven’t been cooking much lately.

Connor is at school. Dave has been working until all hours of the night.

Tax season ended Monday but now I’m working these first few nights of this week.

On Thursday, we’ll be taking my dad to Durant’s, a Phoenix institution, for his 82nd birthday dinner.

Maybe I’ll cook again on Friday.

Until then, I want to share something with you. Something I think is very profound for us women. Something to make you rethink the way you think about yourself.

Please take 3 minutes to watch THIS VIDEO. Then, please share how it made you feel.

I will tell you that it had a real impact on me.

So many of us are so very critical of ourselves. When I watched this video, I had tears in my eyes. Tears, long before the second people came in to describe the women they had met. It made me sad to hear the women describe themselves. It made me sad knowing that is what I would have done too. Be critical of me.

I plan to be nicer to myself. When I forget and fall back into those insecure and critical feelings, I’m going to watch this again, to remind me to be kinder … to be kinder to me.
