December is officially here. With that comes all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays. It’s so easy to get over-taxed at this time of the year. I often find myself feeling like I’m meeting myself coming and going and not sure where I am supposed to be!

This week, I ran across a new video by Simple Truths, which is a site I just love. They have the best inspirational videos and books. I love the company because of their products, and I also love how customer-focused they are. In a world where people are so focused on how to make a profit, this company always remembers their customers first, and I love that about them. If you’re looking for some great inexpensive gifts for Christmas, I encourage you to check out their site.

The video that struck me this week is one called “Oil for Your Lamp.” It really speaks to women and what we need to do to be sure we are taking care of ourselves. Women are by nature caretakers. We do so much for everyone else that sometimes we just forget to do for ourselves. And yet without that oil for our lamp, the lamp flame will simply burn out. Sound familiar?

So for today, I’m asking each of you to take two short minutes and watch this video as a reminder of who we are, what we do, and how very important it is to take care of yourself!
