I Heart Me



 The #allyouneedisloveproject is a movement to inspire more love on this planet. The more we come together, the more love we can share. Check it out on  Shugar Love. This week's Love Topic is "I love me because…"
So here goes...

I Heart Me

Yes I do! Sure there are a couple of things I would change but over all I love who I have become. Hmm, so you probably guessed that I did not always love myself, in fact I would go as far as saying that at times I did not even like myself. The reason for that was because I believed what people and one in particular told me; That I was not good enough, not pretty enough, not nice enough, not smart enough… in fact I was simply not enough.
When he left I knew just like Gloria Gaynor that I would survive (somehow) and of all the damage he left behind, the hardest one was putting myself together again…. I needed to put myself on top of the list in order to be emotionally, intellectually, and physically available to others;  and the only way I could do that was to start loving me, for the woman I am and the one  I would become...

So yes I heart me: for having the courage to speak up, to have a voice (sometimes a loud one), making a difference, exploring beyond the boundaries that I set, colouring outside the lines…the list goes on and on.

  1. I love your strength! I am so happy you got out of that relationship. The best part of loving yourself is loving another and having that love reciprocated. I send you prayers of love, peace and more strength for every moment and breath! Lots of love #allyouneedisloveproject

  2. Beautiful! Just beautifully said. I'm so glad you have found your voice and have learned to love yourself. Such an important part of living a full life. Yeah, there will always be those naysayers who want to tear you down, but it's up to us to not give them the power. I love the line, "coloring outside the lines." That's me, too! Thanks for joining the love movement =)

  3. We may not all love who we were before, but we need to think of the good things of what we have become.
