So my little (but important!) reminder for today is: Love yourself.

Sometimes I’m way harder on myself than I would ever be on anyone else. I do this less and less as I get older, but still… WHY?

I want to encourage you (and myself!) to accept that we may have flaws in who we are, but we can always choose to do better next time. Celebrate what you like about yourself. As for me, I will acknowledge that I am a really great mom. I am a loving person. I am sensitive in some very good ways. I am kind. I am optimistic. I am a passionate artist and creative entrepreneur.

Am I all of these things, all of the time? No. But today I’m grateful that they are true most of the time.

What do you love about yourself? What are you grateful for? I’d love to hear your answers in the comments, but even if you keep your answers to yourself, I think they are some pretty important questions.
