Thank you Chris. I am practicing self love as you describe it these very days on a new level. I am more aware these days of the many ways I have beat myself up repeatedly every day. I now notice when I start doing that and I disengage, again and again. I am getting it. It was extremely tough for me to forgive myself for past choices and I think I have. This is all new to me and I need more time to let the dust settle for me.

Interesting enough, it was suggested here to teach self love at school”: when I became a full time teacher in high school, Belmont High School, Los Angeles 1989 I put together a program to teach self esteem, my initiative, and presented it to the principal. I thought it was a good program, I was excited about it but I never heard from the principal.
