The Lesson of Self Love

By -

When you squeeze an orange what do you get? It's easy - you get orange juice.  When squeeze a  lime you get lime juice and if you squeeze a lemon you get lemon juice.  So what happens when you get squeezed, when you feel you are under pressure?  What you get is what is inside of you.  How you see yourself shows in how you treat others.  

If you see yourself as loving, and capable, that will be how you treat others. If you believe you are worthy, confident, self assured- it shows in your thoughts and actions towards others. When you see yourself in a loving way, you have nothing but love to extend outward.  It's what's inside of you- it is all you have to give. 

The more you love yourself the greater your reverence for all life.  Unconditional love and respect for all is a gift that starts within.  The more you show love towards yourself the more love you can show others and you will easily let go of blame, shame, criticism, fault finding, and negative thinking.  How much self-love is within you?

Help children to learn to have a healthy respect for him or herself.  What a glorious gift you can give your own children, teaching them the lesson of self love. Then let them fill the world with peace and love.

When Kelli Spencer asked me to be part of a blogging relay I immediately said “Yes!” For me it was an opportunity to be part of a team and to pass the baton onto others. Kelli is an amazing individual who taps into nature, angels and people to help others restore their natural state of well-being. I met her through a mutual friend, Twyla as we participated in a book club for several years. Today Kelli has her own blog www.lovethelifeyouhave.com ; she is working on a book and enjoying ever minute of her home in the country. I turn to her blog when I find myself asking “What the heck is go

A Rebel with a Cause

Spring conjures thoughts of the legends and lore surrounding the Trickster.   The leprechauns of St. Patrick’s Day, the jokers on April Fools’ Day and the deceptive nature of spring weather are all like the archetypal Trickster.   Each is a reminder of the Wise Fool within.   In stories, the Trickster provides humorous relief to offset dramatic tension.   In life, the Trickster is your teacher, your great balancer.     Like a rebel with a cause, the Trickster uses riddles, puns, puzzles, mischief, wit and cleverness to teach you and help you grow in unexpected ways.   Blessed with curiosity that can lead to trouble, armed with cunning and wit the trickster faces challenges and evolves to a higher level. In life, your greatest lessons often come in unexpected ways such as tempting choices and strife.   It is only after the fact, when you dig deeper, that you “get the joke,” learn the lesson and grow from the experience. Bugs Bunny, the clown, Lear’s fool, the coyote of the
