Earlier this week I had a table at my local Health Fair. It was so much fun!

I once had a conversation with someone – a friend of a friend – who was sharing about someone he knew who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Self-care has become a catch-all phrase for all things bubble baths, pedicures, and facials (and don’t get me wrong – I love all of these things!!). But real, deep self-care?
