Love This

Love this

“A woman who doesn’t care for herself first is a woman who eventually becomes bitter, jaded, and bored by life. When a woman feels loved and radiant, everyone who enters her home feels the same. But the key is that she has to be willing to give it to herself first, and she will instinctively pour (what lives inside her) into everyone else.”

— India Ame’ye, Author
