This one goes out to all my leaders, advocates, activists, movers and shakers who time and time again give themselves…. ALL OF THEMSELVES to the community!!
Don’t forget to take time for you!! EVERYONE will understand… and if they don’t they are NOT for you!! Take it from someone who has children, had 3 jobs and business and still managed to volunteer 40+ hours a week!!
From someone who had to learn recently that it’s ok to say no to maintain sanity!!
From someone who still struggles with saying no!!
From someone who is currently on call 24/7 365 for the community and never had once complained.
From someone who barely has someone ask “Are you ok?”
From someone who had to learn to ask themselves that same question.
Remember burn out is real… and the fight that you are fighting will still need to be fought after you disconnect!!
And if no one has told you THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU or that YOU ARE APPRECIATED… know that I did and do!!
Lo
