Loving, living, learning...

Hello again,

This is just a quick little blog, as I'm in the middle of doing a newsletter that I'd planned to have ready for the 1st of February... But, hey ho! - I'm going gently on myself, as this a difficult time for me; those of you who know me well, will know why.

The theme of my newsletter is Self Love. (That's the link between this blog and the pictures I've included - spot the love hearts!) I wanted to include this piece below by Louise Hay, but a combination of lack of time and space prevented me, so I thought I'd include it in my blog instead:

I Love Myself Affirmation
Louise Hay

Deep at the centre of my being,

there is an infinite well of love.


I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness,

my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions

and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give.

The supply is endless.

The use of love makes me feel good,

it is an expression of my inner joy.



I love myself;

therefore, I take loving care of my body.

I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages,

I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly

responds to me with vibrant health and energy.



I love myself; therefore provide for myself

a comfortable home, one that fills

all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.

I fill the rooms with the vibration of love

so that all who enter, myself included,

will feel this love and be nourished by it.



I love myself; therefore I work at a job I truly enjoy

doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities,

working with and for people I love and who love me,

and earning a good income.



I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving

way to all people for I know that that which I give out

returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world,

for they are a mirror of what I am.



I love myself; therefore I forgive and totally release

the past and all past experiences and I am free.



I love myself; therefore I live totally in the now,

experiencing each moment as good and knowing that

my future is bright and joyous and secure,

for I am a beloved child of the Universe

and the Universe lovingly takes care of me

now and forever more.

And so it is.
