Poetry
All of the poems here are written by me, Jill Hodge, host of the Let the Verse Flow podcast and creator of the Me-time Mixtape newsletter. I know rhyming verse may be out of style these days, but it makes me happy. Here's hoping it does the same for you. 😊

Grief and gratitude are often tied together during the holidays; the depth of our gratitude comes from knowing that we can love and be loved.
Build a Personal Growth Practice (with Creative Self-Care)
Personal growth comes via different pathways, but we can move towards it by intention setting and practice, using creative self-care tools like challenging ourselves and engaging in self-directed acts of kindness.
Dealing with Dementia (Caregiver Tips & Journal Prompts)
If your loved one has dementia, saying goodbye to the relationship you once had is one of life’s biggest challenges. If you’re their caregiver, I hope to inspire you to find a balanced approach to caregiving because your health and mental well-being are essential.

Comparison, especially comparing ourselves to social media images, can rob us of the ability to acknowledge our personal strengths and abilities. To counter the negative effects of social comparison, engage in self-affirming activities like gratitude journaling and building creative social networks.
