Love Who You Are

"Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are and listen to the wind that is singing in your veins. Feel the love, the longing and the fear in your bones. Open your heart to who you are, right now, not who you would like to be. Not the saint you're striving to become. But the being right here before you, inside you, around you. All of you is holy. You're already more and less than whatever you can know. Breathe out, look in, let go." ~John Wellwood~

Good evening dear ones. On this day that has become dedicated to love, I wanted to put out a reminder of how important it is to love yourself. Giving yourself the gift of unconditional love is the best thing you can receive on any given day. However, as today is a day that is usually geared towards couples, it can be difficult to remember that you too, are deserving of love. So, take a look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love you, and that you are worth it.

My loves, how often have you told yourself you'd like yourself better if you were thinner, prettier, or less this or that? How often have you thought yourself unworthy of love because someone left you behind? How many times have you tried to fill that gaping void with vices that did nothing but leave a bigger void? Stop listening to the voices that try to tell you that you are worthless. Stop letting them tell you that you don't deserve love because you don't look a certain way or you are too much of something. Stop looking for validation from those who walked away or used you. Love yourself just as you are, flaws and all. Every scar on your body means you survived what tried to break you. Every stretchmark, freckle, or anything else that marks your body, is just a decoration. These things do not define your true self, nor your true beauty. Let the kindness of your heart and the light of your soul show the world who you really are.

Take care of yourselves and each other my darlings. Let love fill your heart this day and every day. Tell those you love how you feel and never let a day go by without doing so. Life is far to short to live with regrets and to stick around when love is no longer served. I love you all. Be kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
