Morning lovely people. Before you do anything, get some food, slug some water and re-up on your meds.
Sure there is plenty of stuff to do today, but put taking care of you at the top of that list.
You’re worth it. And you’re awesome.

Where do you keep your money? If the answer ends with the word "bank," you're doing it wrong. Put your money into cooperatively owned financial institutions. You can find a credit union in your area here: http://bit.ly/2HGlKw5 If you want help identifying which credit unions you can join.... @ me. #GoCoop #CreditUnions
