“Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” – Aberjhani
How do you want to love yourself today?
Will love appear through the words you use to describe yourself, through how you treat your body, through your relaxation at the end of the day, or through paring down that impossible to-do list?
Dare to love yourself. I adore this concept, as love becomes something bold and wild and freeing.
How do you need to love yourself today?
Today I want love via hot food to eat, soothing music to hear, and warm sun to feel.
Today I need love via the reminder that patience and balance make our journeys a lot more enjoyable and fun.
Truthfully, one of my main business struggles has been patience. It’s hard to do lots of foundation-building, behind-the-scenes work and to make slow but steady progress when my ego wants quick progress.
The easy out is to blame myself for not moving quickly enough, for not getting enough done.
The more challenging but honest truth is that this work takes time, patience, and enormous amounts of love and care.
I took a moment recently to remember that since mid-January, I’ve completed 8 new paintings. My portfolio is expanding, as is my confidence in my own creativity. I’ll be sure to let you know when all of the new paintings / prints / and cards are available in my shop, but for now I’m simply excited to have so much new art to share with you.
I hope you enjoy seeing the progress of each new painting as much as I enjoy sharing that progress with you.
Today I dare to love myself by letting myself off the hook. I am doing enough. I am enough. My path continues to unfold, moment by moment.
So here’s to love, friends, in various forms.
Here’s to believing in ourselves and taking care of ourselves and recognizing the lessons we need to learn when they appear before us.
We can do this.
With love,
