Love month!
>> February 1, 2009
February means two things to me. Love and chocolate! I know some single people find Valentines day hard but I don't think that the love has to be just a love you share with your significant other. How about the love you share with your children, or the love you share with your family... your friends! Or most importantly. How about the love you have for yourself??? I know that Valentines day can be commercial. Mike and I don't do the whole card and present thing just because someone says we have to. We do that all the time. Send each other cards, buy flowers, surprise one and other with chocolate. But I think that the month of February can serve as a good reminder of loving yourself, now why is that so hard? Why don't I treat myself as well as I treat everyone else in my life. Well this year for me is all about change. Change in the way I see myself inside and out. I really didn't like what I was seeing before. But slowly I am feeling a shift in that. And if I love myself then I can love everyone else the way they deserve. I can be happy for other people instead of jealous of them. We should never underestimate the power of self acceptance!

Children don't by me flowers :(
Though I understand what you are says it's just a pity this day is so commercialized
Really lovely photo, I love your dress and the shoes in the previous posts.
No but they do pick them for you !!! :-)
Even better. I must admit my daughter made me a card last year and it was so cute.
Wonderful words to remember. Why IS it so hard to love ourselves? Must be all the warts we see. ;)
Beautiful expression of love Sebrina - words and images alike! It shines here in your space, and it does me good to see it. Thank you for sharing :) xx
Loving oneself is so very hard. But, you're right, it is so powerful. Maybe I will send myself flowers for Valentine's Day!
These are beautiful pictures of you and Mike!
You and Mike look so good together!
That is a beautiful picture of you and Mike. Lovely couple.
Wonderful words ~ too bad we as woman regularly can't love ourselves as well as we love others. Always try to remember "if a friend thought of spoke the way we sometimes do to ourselves they would not stay our friend".
wise words...love is really what it all comes down to.
beautiful images!....so lucky to be blessed with big, big love!
I wish you continued strength along your path to self acceptance and love. I too am on a similar journey and at times it can be VERY difficult. Thank you for sharing.
