Self-Kindness ￨ Gentle Magic

Most of us are skilled at being kind to others, but do you extend that same level of kindness to yourself? Self-love is a wonderful aspiration, but sometimes it feels hard to reach. Self-kindness can be the path that guides us toward this deeper appreciation. Through small acts of gentleness, we can begin to tend to ourselves with the same care and understanding that we offer to our loved ones.  You are worthy of rest. You are worthy of acceptance. And you are worthy of love. The path always starts with you. What am I reading?The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250835451The Story of Witches by Willow Winshamhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781849949064https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat’s playing on repeat?The Cave by Mumford & Sons What’s for dinner? Asparagus & Bacon PenneIngredients:1 lb penne pasta1 lb asparagus1 bag frozen broccoli1 onion4 tablespoons sun dried-tomatoes in olive oil1 package bacon (your choice) Parmesan cheeseSalt and pepperDrizzle olive oil Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
