Do you love yourself? Have you forgiven yourself?

In the last three years, I've had to learn how to forgive myself in order to truly love myself.
Life throws us curve balls.  We all have experience current life events that were traumatic.  We've done things we didn't like.  We've been treated poorly. So many things could have happened.  I will share a little about what happened to me and how I was able to take the advice I am about to share with you and change my life around.
I spend a majority of my life blaming others for my unhappiness.  First mistake, I made. I had to take responsibility for my own mistakes.  I was in an abusive relationship for 15 years. I blamed God for not changing my situation. I lived feeling that God must not love me. What happened to me was I developed a mindset that if God didn't love me why should I love myself. My reasoning to this thought was the fact I was mistreated, called names, put down for so many years.....God didn't hear my prayers. It wasn't until I changed my prayer. I ask God to change me. I wanted to be changed. I didn't want to feel the way I felt. There were many times, I wanted to disappear. The pain of abuse is hard. 
I did change. It has taken three years for me to shift my mindset. I have forgiven myself for all of my mistakes (I am not perfect) I forgive myself for not taking action sooner and leaving that abusive relationship. I forgave myself for blaming myself for many things gone wrong. And finally with this forgiveness I found self love.
See God loves me. He has always been with me. He was waiting for me to shift to awaken to change to be enlightened. I love me!
The key to self love is to "STOP CRITICIZING YOURSELF"!  This was hard for me because it was all I ever got from my abusive relationship. But once I stopped being mean to myself - that is when I feel in love with me. My beautiful soul. I began to change my thoughts. I began to speak in a positive attitude towards myself. 
These simple changes have so much power to your life!
We all have a choice.  Our words and our thought have POWER!
I encourage you today to sit in a quiet space. Turn on some soft spa type music. Take a sheet a paper and write down I forgive myself and I love myself. Sit and allow your inner self to send you those things that have been hurting you for a long time. Things you should forgive yourself for....and once those thoughts come through...repeat I forgive myself, I forgive myself,  I love myself, I love myself....if you have to cry...cry...allow yourself to feel this moment...and allow this release....once you've done this break that sheet in small pieces. You've done it. Now live freely.

Dark Night of the Soul

About 3 years ago, I went through the dark night of the soul. I was going through my spiritual awakening. Experiencing many symptoms since 2009 which at the time I really didn't know what was happening to me. I knew I was changing. I knew I was awakening as I began reading and searching for answers as to my experiences. As I continued to grow, heal, and fully move into servicing others in my mission.  I remember the dark night. The dark night of the soul feels like your heart is literally coming off of your chest. The dark night of the soul feels like your in a dark empty space. The dark night of the soul feels like the tears will never end. The dark night of the soul feels like you can't breathe. The dark night of the soul feels as if no one truly knows the pain deep within. I have felt the dark night of the soul. I have been up close and personal with the dark night. Sitting right in front of the dark night of the soul. For about 3 months I was dancing with the dark nigh

Bad or Good

  Choices. We've made bad ones. We've made good ones. I stated "we've" because I too have made bad and good choices. I have learned from those choices.  I am about to share some important life journey lessons and how you can move forward living a happier more fulfilling life.  The first thing you must recognize and accept are your choices. No matter how old you are once you become an adult - there is no one to blame but yourself. STOP blaming the life, your mom, your dad, your family etc. At some point in your life, you made life changing choices.  I share this because of experience. When I was young I blamed others for my life. It wasn't until I began to grow and learn. I realized I (me, myself, & I) attract ALL the events that had happen to me. I choice this experience for a reason. I had to go through this for a purpose.  Second, you must learn to forgive. Forgive everyone and most importantly forgive yourself. Once again, I share this fr

Beautiful Butterfly

You are a beautiful  butterfly, you are a star in the sky, when I will see you I think I will be shy to look in your eye but I will give it a try.  You are so kind, your beautiful heart isn't easy to find, I will never forget you will always be in my mind, till the day I will die. You are a beautiful butterfly.  You have a beautiful face which I had never seen in any other place, since I have been following you I became a hopeless case. Believe me I don’t try to lie. You are a beautiful butterfly.  I keep thinking of you day and night, you turned all the darkness in my life into light, your love makes me see everything shining and bright. Your love makes me think that I can fly. you are a beautiful butterfly. Unknown
