Practicing compassionate self-care is so important for our Emotional Health.

We are seeing a rise in people experiencing heightened emotions across the whole range of feelings. Things like: more irritability, higher sensitivity, shorter fuses, increased anxiety and depression, and less compassion toward others and toward ourselves.

Maybe you are feeling that way too.

It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done or what kind of broken past you may have, you are dearly loved by the Good Shepherd, whose name is Jesus.
