Meme Monday Hands up if you're over the week already and it's only Monday!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😭😭😭😭😭

We are always at war w/ ourselves in one way or another. It isn't right, but it doesn't make it any less true. So, look in the mirror & tell yourself at least one thing that you love about yourself & that makes you, YOU! Cause don't forget you're unique, amazing, & a warrior!

Mid-Week Observation/Reminder No matter how hard you think someone else has, that doesn't make your experiences or difficulties any less valid. We all go through struggles. And we all go through fluctuating times in our lives. So, we understand, and we are here for one another!

Think About it Thursday Confidence is not a bad word or a bad thing. If you use it poorly that is when confidence turns to cockiness. However, confidence is a powerful and useful tool that helps us realize our self-worth and strength!

Lupus changes daily for all of us. Some days are better than others and some are worse. Sometimes we have a flame that burns bright & other days we have just a tiny flame that we are struggling to keep lit. The only thing that matters is taking one day at a time & keep fighting

Think About You Thursday This really says it all! If it matters to you, it's important! Don't let anyone tell you that something doesn't matter or that something isn't important. Do what makes you happy in life.

Meme Monday Don't you just love when people think they know more than you about your disease(s)! NOT! 🤪

Tuesday Tip We don't know who needs to hear this today, but everything is going to be okay. It might take some time. It might not be immediately, but it will be okay. Take a breath, take a step back, and surround yourself with those that love you. 💜💜💜💜

Wellness Wednesday Taking care of yourself is important. You can only do your best when you're at your best and that means mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Think About it Thursday We all have been through so much. Some similar things and many different things. That's what makes us unique and so strong. Remember that those things are what make you who you are. So, own that $H!T.

Motivational Monday Can't stress this enough, you're allowed bad days, and you're certainly allowed to take as long as you need to do things...only you know how much your body can take. What matters is that you keep going and keep fighting!

Teaching Tuesday People often don't get the difference between being "tired" and having "chronic fatigue". Here are some ways to explain it to people so they know there is a difference between the two.

Wellness Wednesday This is an important mantra to live by. Accept the things you cannot change and learn to let them go.

This is true! So, you know what! How are we supposed to enjoy life if not? How are we even supposed to come up w/ more treatments or even a cure for Lupus if we are coloring inside lines & thinking inside the box? So, everybody color outside the lines 🖍& think outside the box📦!
