I’ve never really been a bath person, and really haven’t learned the art of Taking Time for ME!  Today I took my second bath of the year! (Now, now….be nice!  I shower at least once a day!!!!!)

Really, it was a Taking Time for ME moment that got me started on this blog!  You see, about a week ago I had a terrible headache that wouldn’t go away.  At the urging of ML and my son, Zach, I took a hot bath in epsom salts, turned the bubbles on, turned the lights down low and RELAXED!  That is a very foreign word for me, as it is for most of us in this day and age of hustle and bustle, multi-tasking and never letting them see you sweat mentality.  I will admit, there was a nice glass of red wine and a tumbler full of fresh water by my bath side.  In that true moment of relaxation I looked at the tumbler that ML had bought me some time ago that says BLESSED LIFE on it and I realized how I was going to make myself stop and smell the roses and truly appreciate the BLESSED LIFE I have and the many blessings, big and small that contribute to my true happiness.  And so, www.blessedbrokenroad.com became a thing!

Thanks to my son’s thoughtful birthday gift of wonderful bath bombs from @LUSH, I am learning to appreciate baths, but especially feeling blessed that I am Taking Time for ME!

My challenge to you today is to Take Time for YOU!  Even if it is just a few minutes enjoying your morning coffee before the kids wake up or a half hour indulging yourself in your latest magazine or slipping away early and crawling into a nice clean bed in warm pyjamas…try to Take Time for YOU!  Please share what you took time to do for YOU today!

God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you!

Blessings,

Lara-Lee
