Yours?
Yes, Chris & Mary! How beautiful! And I set myself free to be who I am, to bring out my gifts, to come from my joy.
When I love myself, I am able to act and speak in a genuine manner. Fear of others disapproval is diminshed because I am OK without their support and approval.
What is different in my life when I love and cherish myself just as I am is that I do not look for anyone’s approval. I just am content to be myself. There is absolutely no criticism of myself. It is an incredible space to be in.
