The Daily Llama brings you short, one-word meditations and a corresponding quote for your complete wool-being (#seewhatwedidthere?) for Monday, May 3rd – Friday, May 7th, 2021.

MONDAY, MAY 3RD

THE DAILY LLAMA WORD OF THE DAY: FOSTER

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

MEDITATE ON THIS:

We get two families in this lifetime – the family who raises us, and the family we create through our choices. If we are really lucky, we will love both and be loved by both. But in the event that the family who raises us is the primary source of our pain, please know that we are not obligated to remain in relationship with anyone who causes us harm. We can choose new families.

You don’t have to look like someone else to love them.

The Daily Llama Fun Fact of the Day:

 Today is National Paranormal Day!

TUESDAY, MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

THE DAILY LLAMA WORD OF THE DAILY: NURTURE

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

MEDITATE ON THIS:

Some of us may have lacked the nurturing we needed in childhood to feel secure and loved. It may have sent us down a path of trying to find it in all sorts of ways, many which we may regret. We cannot go back in time to fix or change what is done.

While it is important to grieve our losses, it is also imperative that we start being the adult that we needed to have in our lives as a child. It is up to us to nurture and love ourselves the way we wished our parents would have.

The Daily Llama Fun Fact of the Day:

Today is Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you!

WEDNESDAY, MAY 5TH

THE DAILY LLAMA WORD OF THE DAY: BIRTH

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

MEDITATE ON THIS:

Whether or not one believes there is some grand meaning to life is a matter of personal philosophy. Yet studies show that people who are connected to a deep sense of purpose show greater resilience when handling life’s ups and downs. Some of us find our purpose in life is rooted in our passions or what we’re uniquely good at. Others may find that our purpose is connected to our pain. We believe that we have survived in order to help those who come behind us find the way.

You may not yet know what your purpose is. But it doesn’t mean you don’t have one.

The Daily Llama Fun Fact of the Day:

Today is Cinco de Mayo

THURSDAY, MAY 6TH

THE DAILY LLAMA WORD OF THE DAY: CARE

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

MEDITATE ON THIS:

In recovery, we work on taking care of our bodies. Some of us have a harder time than others because we’ve been at war with our bodies for a long time. But it’s time to make peace with our bodies.

It’s time to come home.

The Daily Llama Fun Fact of the Day:

Today is National Day of Prayer

FRIDAY, MAY 7TH

THE DAILY LLAMA WORD OF THE DAY: MOTHER

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

MEDITATE ON THIS:

Mother’s Day is a complicated holiday. Some of us have lost our mothers, and the day brings a certain sadness. Some of us long to be mothers but can’t be. Some of us are mothers who have lost children, or have children who are not speaking to us. Some of us had mothers who weren’t very good mothers, and the relationship with our mothers is complicated at best.

If you are someone who had a loving mother and she is still alive, you are incredibly blessed.

The best gift we can ever give or get is forgiveness.

The Daily Llama Fun Fact of the Day:

Today is National Space Day
