Love Attracts More Love. 

This is the thought I have been thinking again and again lately. It seems to me such a simple thought, but an important one to me.  

How is love present in your life right now?  Are you getting as much as you need? Are you giving as much as you'd like or are you holding back in some way to protect yourself from fear of rejection or old hurt and pain?

Most importantly, to truly be able to give and receive love fully and openly in any relationships, it all starts in how you feel about yourself: how you care for yourself body, mind and spirit and tend to your own needs and desires-which may seem selfish to most of us-but is the most important step before even being able to accept another person's love into your heart.

How can you be more loving to yourself? How is your relationship to your own body? How do you nourish yourself? When you look at yourself in the mirror do you see someone you love, who is loved or someone who doesn't feel worthy of such love?

It takes so much time and kindness, forgiveness and self-care to fully love ourselves and no amount of love from another person can bring us that self-love we so need in order to fully love another.  If we are constantly looking for outside love and adoration and approval, we are really just looking to see ourselves reflected back in the other and that is a very temporary fix. 

Love yourself, love spreads infinitely, then comes right back.
