‘Deep at the centre of my being there is an infinite well of love’ – Louise Hay

As Valentine's Day approaches, the topic of LOVE is a hot one. As I was contemplating the many types of love...from romantic, to family, to close friends, I was feeling that one aspect of love that is often not nurtured perhaps as much as it should be, is 'self-love'. As we have heard before, it is so important that we learn to love ourselves, for only when we love ourselves do we have quality love to give to others. One of my favourite authors on this topic is Louise Hay and I was inspired to share her 12 Commandments of Loving Oneself. My goal for the month of February is to post it on my wall and attempt to follow the commandments and see what shifts occur within and without! If you feel a calling to choose to do it as well, let us know how it goes!
