This post is for you...Cami!


Cami, I bought these really cute red heels today and I knew you would be surprised and happy since you enjoy "expressive" shoes...best part for me is that they aren't just cute...they were also $7.50.

Evaly shared something she learned at her Enrichment meeting last night and I have thought about it all day. I'm so glad she shared it. The message was about emotional health and the thought was (sorry, this is what I learned from what she said rather than what she actually said) that if something is a sort of a trigger and always seems to upset us we should act proactively and avoid it, if possible, much in the same way one would do if they had a food allergy. For an example, Ev and I have talked before how the news can be so depressing and/or frightening. If someone is adversely affected by that, one can choose to safeguard their emotional health and turn it off. I love that comparasion to a food allergy because you can't expect other people to care for you and your allergies; you take steps to care for yourself because you don't want to suffer with a reaction. I want to think about that some more. I think I can reduce some of the stress I sometimes get to feeling by evaluating my triggers. Thanks Ev!
