    Hiya Rosie!

    First I wanted to thank you for asking that question, since it is allowing me to stop and consider what I feel self love is. Much of my life was spent trying to gain favor or approval or even love from others.  Acting as I “should” instead of according to my own soul’s imperative. I suppose, for me, my greatest act of self love was to stop sacrificing my own enjoyment of life in order to achieve those aforementioned goals, which I now perceive as false. People are changable, their wants are changable, and they come and go as easily as autumn leaves. Some people were not even acting with integrity, and so did not deserve all I struggled to bestow. Can you even hear your soulsong? Listen for that unreasonable twang of joy in places, with people and while doing activities. When something resonates for you, hold that in your mind as a clue. Dont fret if things change, allow yourself to change and grow as well. The very fact that you seek to define it tells me clearly you are on your way. Don’t let anyone else tell you where north is on your inner compass.

    self love : remove the negative, be it person place or thing. No matter status or station. Compound the joy where ever you find it. (without bringing harm – no axe murdering as a hobby!)

    Much love your way-

    Hiya Lonedove!

    I am a bit late, but I wanted to share my themesong – Pines of Rome : the pines of the appian way. Performed by the BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER, Herber von Karajan conducting.

    It is a classical piece, so victorious and huge and splendid and how I see life.

    And myself.

    It starts as a whisper…you are not really sure you even heard anything…

    Then yes, it’s there. You can’t really tell whats going on but you are curious.

    It’s big whatever it is. Greater than it is letting on. Quite like life.

    Sometimes there is a sense of struggle. Yet the more that is revealed, the greater it becomes. There is a definate sense of overcoming. Being, and becoming.

    Then, finally, YES! You did it! Looks like you did it, and in fact you did it! Your freedom, your truth…all there!

     

    Give it a listen if you can. I guarantee it will inspire you.

    Jory
