"Love conquers all things.

Let us, too, surrender to love."

Learning to love myself has been one of

the hardest lessons I've had to learn. I

had to discover my capacity for

self-care. I had to listen to the way I

talked to myself and to learn to speak

in more affirming ways. Learning to

smile -- and then laugh -- when I made a

mistake helped me to be less

self-centered and more able to just have

fun.

Life is a great experience when I

surrender myself to the love around

me. Expressing my love to others

increases its quantity and quality

inside of me. We all need to know that

someone loves us and that we are

lovable. Everyone needs to know that

they are sufficient. I've discovered

that as I give love to others, it is

returned to me many times over.


ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .


I will work at expressing unconditional love.
