Do You Love Yourself

What do you love about yourself? I'm not talking about the exterior you - we can all love our exterior with a good plastic surgeon and a good weave. I'm talking about the authentic you.

I was preparing for my upcoming workshop yesterday when the question, what do you love about yourself popped in my head. That led me to the decision that March workshop is going to be on Loving Yourself.

Did you know that's okay to love yourself? Not in a conceited way where you think you're better than others, but in a acceptance way. It can be difficult to see our self- worth, and it's not always easy to love and embrace all that is good in us. I think we're all a little guilty of being too hard on ourselves. We can pick out flaws that know one else even imagines in us. Why do we beat ourselves up like that? It's because we begin to believe all the garbage in our head. Our subconscious mind is powerful - we feel in our body what we represent in our brain. You need to throw the garbage out and fill your mind with goodness. For over 30 years before I get out of bed in the morning I read something inspirational. It can be a bible verse, a quote, a blog, a positive affirmation  - something positive. I use to have to search for inspiration years ago, but now with having a smart phone inspiration is delivered to me each morning. I'm a witness that a daily dose of positive will change your life. You will begin to understand who you really are, and loving yourself will follow. Things like doubt and fear will begin to fade away - you will let go of the things that are not good for you or your health, and you'll stop chasing after the people that don't love you for you. You'll begin to see who the toxic people are in your life and realize that you need to move on for your own well being. You will truly believe these three words, I Am Enough. So quit blaming your life on everyone else and fix (love) yourself. Burn a bridge and move on!        

It takes soul searching and being honest with yourself to begin working on loving you; but once you accept yourself and begin the journey you will find peace and happiness within you. I think we all deserve that...don't you?


Always remember that you are uniquely and beautifully made...Love Yourself!



Peace, love & hugs!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...
I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
