Dear Fellow Caregiver,
Greetings from springtime in the Rockies! Welcome back to Sip of Soup, my free "E-sip" offering a taste of insight and lessons to help you keep caring while living a more balanced life.
Positively Yours,

Positivity Power
During my 30 years as a nurse at the bedside, I must have answered a jillion call lights, each time asking, "How can I help you?" This Nurse's Week, I want every nurse who reads this to ask themselves, "How can I help you, Me?"
Most of you have heard me lovingly nag, er, coax, you to take a look at your life and evaluate if your physical, mental, or spiritual self may be a bit out of balance. I've then suggested you ask for what you need to help nurture your body, mind and/or spirit. That's when we should be like a toddler and ask for our "juice" until we get it!

Lessons from LeAnn

This Nurse's Week, I urge you to take some quiet time to evaluate your life. What one thing would help you balance better physically, mentally or spiritually? For your Nurses Week gift to yourself, ask (lovingly) for what you need to do so. Do you need time for a nap? a walk? or to pray? Do you need a friend to laugh with? someone to shop for healthy food? a bubble bath? a daily reading book? a retreat?
For those of you who are not nurses, ask a nurse you know, "How can I help you?"
Please take a small step to CARE 4 ME, to ask for your "juice," and balance your life. You've earned it...you deserve it.
Thanks for all the lives you bless.
Happy Nurse's Week!
