Love

It took a lot of years of beating myself up over whatever my  physical and emotional shortcomings have been, perceived and real,   to come to a place of acceptance and even love for myself.   Why is it often the case that it is easier to be kinder to others than to ourselves?  Life is so much more comfortable when we fully accept  who and what we are made of, fully appreciate and nourish and celebrate! the good,  embrace it whole heartedly.  This I have discovered to be profoundly true.  When we are capable of that, even the people we love, those  who round out our lives and make them whole,  benefit.

Love and Kindness are never wasted, they always make a difference, even when it’s not obvious – they bless the person who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. Happy Valentine’s Day, All – Wishing you much love in any of the many forms it can be found 💗

  1. so very true about loving ourselves. Happy Valentine Day, I heart all your hearts, especially that puppy

  2. I probably should try to send you this in an email but this is quicker! lol I look at children’s books on Etsy and saw one that looks like something you would like. Everybody Has a House by Mary McBurney Green I think if you just go to Etsy and do a search for it, it will come up. I don’t know why…..but it just looked like ‘you’! Happy Valentines day!

  3. What a beautiful post, Karen. I hope your Valentine’s Day was very happy! And you are right — we often tend to be kinder to others than ourselves, which is much harder. How IS that?

  4. You are a truth-sayer. I wish I knew the answers. I’m working on it every day! Awareness and empathy is key for me and maybe all of us. I know your valentine’s day was full of all that love can bring.

    xxoo

  5. So cool to see you on the blog this a.m. I thought of you and the adoption benefit when I posted the hearts photo. Wondered if you were still doing that. Have an awesome Sunday!

  6. This is the perfect Valentines Day post! And I love all the charming “heart” images you’ve chosen for it.

    I’ve FINALLY updated my blogroll to follow your new site here . . . sorry it took so long *blush*. Things just get away from me sometime!
