The broken cup
Too often, our focus is on how empty is our own cup. Sometimes it takes a while before we realise that we’re not taking care of ourselves as we lose ourselves in our concern for others. So we begin to focus on filling our cup so that the emotional fatigue can finally be overcome. Sadly,…

All that matters is right now…
