As I sat at the nail salon for a day of self pampering, I thought about ways to find my self-worth. I know that my worth isn't in the things that I buy myself nor is it for the day of self pampering. The most important part of my self worth is the importance of my inner worth. The importance of my personal and spiritual well-being. That is so important to me, not the mani/pedi because I know I can find my self worth sipping a delicious cup of tea. I find my worth in my meditation. Sitting in nature. Seeing my birdies chirping and eating at their bird feeders. Today I gave myself a pamper day. I start work on Tuesday and my nails needed it. I also got my eye brows done and got myself a facial. These things are small tokens. I don't find my self worth in them. I treated myself because I know my value. I want to feel GOoD as I begin a what I know will be a busy week. I am not sure what the journey there will hold for me. I know I am divinely guided by my spiritual angelic team tha...

I want to share "3 Simple Steps for Self-Love" that I have personally used to empower, heal, and truly discover the meaning of Self-Love. The first step is  awareness.  Begin by being completely aware of your thoughts. Thoughts that clearly are meant to self sabotage yourself. When we become aware of these thoughts we begin to be mindful of negative thought patterns that do not serve you or your well-being. The second is  forgiveness . This is a tough one because I am asking you to forgive yourself. The key to self-love is to truly become aware of all the junk that isn't serving your personal growth. We can be our own worse critic. We can find it extremely hard to forgive our own self. When we don't forgive ourselves for our shortcomings we remain stagnant. When we remain stagnant we are unable to see the beauty within our soul. The third step is  gratitude.  The third step is so easy to put into practice once we forgive ourselves. When we free ourselves from...

As I share this photo with you.  This photo taken sometime in 2005.   You may ask "Who's that girl?" That girl was a  sad mistreated girl.  A girl that had spend years pretending all was well.  A girl that was stressed, depressed, afraid, hurt, abused, and didn't know her self-worth.  Who's that girl? This girl spend years  wondering "WHY"  things had happened the way they had.   This girl smiled in front of peers. This girl attended regular church services with her heart in pieces because moments prior she had been emotionally and verbally abused at home. This girl kept years of this treatment hidden from the world.  This girl that  you see in this photo wished many times that she could die....run away....wanted so desperately for the pain that she felt to stop.  This girl spend years "ASKING" God to change someone else until she began "ASKING" God to change her.  Something happened to this girl. She realize...

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 chan...

When we look at ourselves, we tend to see only what we think we need to improve or fix. Somehow, we push aside our many wonderful gifts and strengths and even wish we were more like someone else - someone "perfect". But there's no such thing! And why try to be someone else when you're already someone fabulous? I picked up a Woman's World magazine today which is one of my favorite. I read this little poem. I wanted to share it with you because sometimes we are victims of put-downs by other people that create those feelings that we are not perfect. Don't allow anyone to speak negative words to you or at you - put you down - there are people that do this and they call it "joke" - it's not a joke. If you start listening to those comments about you - and you listen to them - you start believing them - that is when this poem comes in  read it daily. Affirm that you are perfect, special, beautiful, worthy of greatness!!
