one of the greatest gifts we can offer one another is a commitment to caring for ourselves with the same intention and tenderness we use when we care for our kids. Healthy, whole people don’t become healthy and whole on accident; it’s because they make the small, daily choices that build on each other. These little things won’t solve everything, but you might be surprised at how much difference they really can make—for our little ones, of course, but especially for our weary and wounded grown-up selves.
