"Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end." ~ Author UnknownI have noticed that it is easy for women to say they love someone – a significant other, a child, a pet, a dear friend, and the like. Yet, how hard is it for women to say they love themselves. Because...well, do they? I dare say they do not.
As women, we are our own worst enemies. We beat up on ourselves worse than we would allow anyone else to be beaten up on. And yet, we are constantly looking for love. Now I ask? How do we receive love from another when we have difficulty giving love to ourselves?
In my twenty plus years of working with women’s groups, I can pretty quickly tell when a woman does not love herself. She puts out a vibe that screams quite loudly – at least to my ears. This is the woman I want to be around the least. And guess what? Did you ask ‘what’? Well, no one else wants to be around her either! So there!
Oscar Wilde once said, "To love oneself is the begining of a life-long romance."
So for this lovely Saint Valentine’s weekend, STOP, TAKE A BREATH, and ASK:
“Who am I?”
When you don’t know who you are, it is very difficult to fall in love with yourself. When you can get in touch with who you truly are, a whole new world opens up to you; a world filled with lots of expression of love.
Blessed and lovely Saint Valentine's Day!

You cannot fully love yorself if fear is keeping you stuck and stressed out. Check out my Transcending Fear Online Mentoring Program. Doing this is truly loving yourself.

yes I agree. We have to put ourselves in that place of self acceptance and love or we won't be attractive to others.
