From Selfless to Self-Honoring
To be self-honoring means recognizing your own worth and valuing your needs, boundaries, and desires just as much as you value those of others. It’s not about neglecting your responsibilities or being unkind—it’s about creating space to nurture your well-being.
When you honor yourself, you give yourself permission to recharge, grow, and thrive. And when you do, you’re better equipped to show up for the people you love in a healthy, sustainable way.

For years, every time I needed a piece of art, I went straight to my in-house art king or, more recently, AI tools. I stayed in my logical lane, watching the artists in my life with admiration from afar. Repeatedly saying : “I’m just not creative”.
