Happy birthday today, February 13, 2013, to my love, Hale! I hope you feel as special as you are today and everyday! I love you!
Happy almost Valentine’s Day to all of you!
I spoke last week about me, climbing on a stool and looking into the mirror as a little girl, and saying, “I hate you”!
Have you ever done that?
What do you say now, today, when you look in the mirror to yourself?
Self criticism is not self-love.
There was a time when I actually practiced looking deep into my own eyes in the mirror and saying “I love you”. I remember it wasn’t easy. There were lots of tears for quite some time.
I didn’t really love myself then and needed to practice doing this in the mirror often. Do you too, need to practice looking in the mirror and saying “I love you”?
Try it!
I know today, that what we say to ourselves, will become our reality.
So, why not practice saying positive things daily to yourself, even if you don’t believe it at that moment?
A belief is only a thought I continue to think. Yes, that’s right, a belief is a thought we continue to think.
So why not begin saying positive, hopeful things to yourself and visualizing all the things you really would like your life to be, both inside of you and outside?
I today rarely ever say or think negative things about myself. It has taken lots of practice switching it all around to loving, positive, thoughts and feelings. It can be achieved though!
Since I love and respect myself, I have so much more to offer to others. I am able to really listen to them and be thrilled for them as they are growing and becoming the people God meant them to be.
A friend gave me a wonderful picture with this saying on it:
Aging, she discovered was just another word for “Growing”——
and she was (FINALLY!), at last, growing into the person she always meant to be………
I have this on my wall in my bathroom, where I can see it every morning and every night.
Are you consciously growing into the person you always meant to be?
If not, I encourage you to consciously begin with the exercise in the mirror that I did.
Here’s to loving yourself and becoming who you were meant to be!

You are so right Connie. Our thoughts and words are so powerful I also feel at different moments in my life it was hard to love myself. I am finally seeking out ways to grow spiritually. I have found if u allow yourself to connect with your inner child it opens up a pathway to your heart and makes self love so much more attainable. You are a dear friend and I love reading your blog.
Thanks, Caroline! Let you light shine in this world, for it is bright! Thanks for all of your wise words! I love you!
