I
am a black lymphie woman who considers herself blessed. It’s not every day any
woman with lymphedema can openly admit to being able to fit into a pair of
skinny jeans. Over the weekend, I pulled out one of my favorite pair of skinny
jeans. I’m talking about skinny jeans that hug my curves just right. Skinny
jeans that make my booty pop as if all I ever do is squats. Oh, and skinny jeans
that I have had for over 5 years that I still can wear with confidence with
lymphedema.
It can be difficult to be uplifted emotionally when your
world seems to be all thrown out of place. I have dealt with the feelings of
hopelessness, anger, and confusion many times in my life. You are not weak
because you have panic attacks.
You are not weak because you feel as if you are
under some sort of spiritual attack. For God knows that you yearn for his
protection, love, and clarity. I wanted to share with you 15 bible verses for
emotional and spiritual healing. Leaning and giving your emotions, circumstances,
and worries to the Lord is key to healing. Let’s get into these healing scriptures!
(I study and read the KJV of the Holy Bible feel free to use the version you prefer.)
30 Self Care Activities for When You Are Short on Time
by Linda B Hurd, October 09, 2019
Time sometimes can feel as if it is not on your side. You can put off daily and even weekly. If you are a serious procrastinator then you can put off for months at a time. Pssst… no judgment from my corner of the universe. However, you can always try to squeeze in a simple self-care activity to uplift you. Do not overthink it. It should not require a lot of money nor effort to make yourself smile.
I still can vividly recall the day when the landlord to my husband and I very first apartment placed the keys in the palm of my hand. I felt empowered. I felt overjoyed. It was a feeling of victory. Seeing my name on the lease and turning the knob to a place that I could call home felt great.
