This week we remember Luke Perry, Keith Flint of The Prodigy and professional wrestler King Kong Bundy, who all passed this week. In a time of loss we are also reminded of the need for self care. To that end we simply take the time to have an intimate but powerful discussion on the need to take care of ourselves and to remind ourselves of our own value. Our hope as you listen in is that you will be encouraged to remember that you are someone of great worth and someone who brings light to this world.
