Yesterday I was visiting with my mother, who will be 83 in a couple of weeks and I asked her what her favorite dessert was. You would have thought I was asking her the absolute density of air. She couldn’t answer. After prodding a little more, she did say she liked pie better than cake, and we whittled it down to apple pie. This conversation made me sad for her. She’s never been asked what her favorite anything is. She was married to a man who demanded his needs come first, grew up in a family where everyone else was more important and she spent most of her time trying to do the “right” thing and not get into trouble. This conversation made me realize just how lucky I am even though I grew up in the same kind of household, I have done a lot of self healing work, and have come to realize that I am important too. Self love is not selfish, it is vital for living a life of love, joy, peace, grace and flow. What self love action can you take for yourself today? Blessings.
