Pampering our Home Front Heroes
Like to get pampered??? (Who doesn't?)

The news article above highlights the combination of two of my main passions and purposes in writing this blog...wellness and the military community! So often, the times when we most need to practice good self-care are the times when we are busiest and most overwhelmed by numerous responsibilities that compete for our precious time and energy. You certainly don't have to be a military spouse to relate to this concept, but the spouses of our deployed military personnel experience this quite intensely on a regular basis. I know, because I have been in their shoes. As I will discuss throughout my blog, self-responsibility and self-love forms the foundation for all wellness. The status of our self-care sets the stage for the quality of our interactions in every other area of our lives...personal relationships, professional performance, etc. If you want to be able to care for others to the best of your ability, remember to take good care of yourself FIRST!!! Follow the lead of these folks and go practice tai chi, get a massage...local spas will often offer huge discounts (50% or more) on such services via sites like GroupOn. In fact, I took advantage of this deal just the other day, per the recommendation of a fellow local military spouse, and got my appointment set up for tomorrow. Ahhhh...I feel much better already! :)
