Ways to Recharge Yourself Body Mind and Soul

Many of you on this blog are mom’s like me, some of you are grandma’s(so you have done this twice). As a woman you will learn if you don’t already how important it is to take time to recharge yourself. There is an old saying “If mama isn't happy, then no-one is happy.” but I like to say “If you don’t take care of yourself, how will you take care of your family?”  We need to recharge ourselves regularly Body, Mind and Soul.
