Love You!

How do you talk to yourself when no one’s around?
I didn’t love myself, so I learned how!🥰

I remember hearing “Love Yourself” being nails on a chalkboard and crap. I hated looking at my reflection. My experiences and perspective told me that I wasn’t deserving of love, so I battle this. I thought my hair, jobs, achievements, relationships, clothing, agreeing with others just because, proven myself to others were ways of loving myself. Still, I found out that these things were external, made me unhappy, and didn’t make a difference.

I learned that truly loving yourself is all internal and has nothing to do with others but all about you. I had to accept all parts of me (good and bad), not seek validation from people but the ONE who created me, do what made my soul jump for joy, accept all of who I am, even the parts no one sees, and oh what fulfills me. I let nothing keep me now from the big picture of my life.

To live a fulfilled, balanced life as a wife, mother, family member, Minister, business owner, coach, and poet! Love to you!
