Hello, Bienvenidos, & Welcome Back to Cuídate, my sacred space online where I share writings of hope, truth, and healing to encourage us to live with intention, love people, and lay our burdens down.
I’m Josefina, the writer behind this platform. My heartfelt wish is that my words become honey to your soul, bringing sweetness and healing to your bones (Proverbs 16:24).

You are Worthy.
During the times you have it together
and the times you are falling apart.
You are Worthy.
During the times you embrace joy
And the moments you try to resist it.
You are Worthy.
During the moments you choose to stay
and the moments you walked away.
You are Worthy.
During the times you kept going
and the times you gave up
You are Worthy.
Whether you recognize your worth
or struggle to see your value.
You are Worthy.
Whether the doors opened
or the doors close.
You are Worthy.
Whether they see you
or they ignore you.
You are Worthy.
Whether things went the way you desired
or didn’t turn out the way you expected
You are Worthy.
When the world tells me I’m broken.
When loss tells me I’m incomplete.
When grief is on repeat.
May I remember that I am worthy.
May I remember that I am worthy of healing.
May I remember that I am worthy of rest.
May I remember that I am worthy of love.
May I remember that I am worthy of beginning again.
