When I Gave Myself Permission: A Middle-aged Stay-at-Home Mom’s Self-love Surprise

“As I was walking to the mall, I felt this palpable sense of delight and satisfaction slowly, surprisingly blooming. I was so pleased with myself, so happy at the thought of indulging with a few minutes and a few dollars just for myself. No maximizing of time and effort, no stacking of household errands and must-dos to justify the twenty-minute trip. Just letting loose for a little bit.” #permission #selflove #stayathomemom #motherhood
