More about Pam
I spent decades climbing mountains figuratively, and finding obstacles on every path I chose. I grew so depressed as an aging mother to adult children with special needs that I had lost who I was. That's when I discovered hiking and the mountains near my home. There's nothing like the peaceful solitude of watching the sunrise from a mountain top. Nature feeds my soul and has made me whole again.

June 16, 2019Beautiful motivational article! Self care is often neglected as responsibilities add up. It can seem selfish and the constant worry when you are apart I can empathize with this. But if you are going to care for someone else you have to care for yourself too! Thank you for sharing your story!

June 17, 2019Thank you Tina! We all need to care for ourselves, like putting on your own oxygen mask before you’re able to help someone else with their’s.

June 17, 2019I love this! Your self care ideas are practical, and are easy to implement into our day. Little things can get us bothered, and sometimes we just need a quick second to realize; it’s all about perspective.
Pam
June 17, 2019Thank you Anitra! I’m happy you found the ideas practical. It took me way to long to realize it’s easier than we think to take care of ourselves!

June 18, 2019Loved this article! Depression is so real and many women don’t know how to do practical things to help themselves snap out of it. You are an inspiration to so many with the challenges you have faced…….and obstacles you have overcome. Blessings!

July 9, 2019It’s so true that women don’t always know how to do practical things to take care of themselves. We tend to put others first. Thank you for your kind words! ~ Pam
