A LOVE we have to pay for?? Valentine's is right around the corner in fact tomorrow. So I started thinking of LOVE. It's a couples thing, for the most part, we all know this. It comes once a year and apparently if you spend like crazy and do it all up right, your good for a whole year. Good sound marketing and public relations. It works too that what amazes me? I have never really celebrated many of the commercial holidays. I wasn't raised with those traditions, we had them when we went to other family members houses but not in ours.
LOVE is the air, that is the mojo for twenty four hours. I have had it both ways, with a partner, and kids, also what I used to call alone. I no longer feel that way. It seems somehow shameful or pitiful to be a ONE on this day. Why is that? Personally, I think it is because there is truly a fear in most people of the "being alone" something must be wrong right??? Stigma bullshit, but so needed or I wouldn't be writing this article..hm mm ponder that awhile.
I made a decision that tomorrow I would pamper myself like I have done for so many others over the years. I am going to plan and participate just as if I was the "VIP", wow it looks really NOW in the written words. I love myself I said silently, but I kept coming back to that sentence. When did I stop considering me a VIP?? It rattled me a bit, then it challenged me to treat this day as the day I would get back to the basic of being a VIP in my world, and in my life. I also, for one moment realized just how much moving away from spirit and balance I had become. Truth is doesn't have to even be a large amount, just a mi note tilt and I am wobbling and drifting away. I sit here, feeling humbled and in LOVE with this new information and one more layer of me revealed. The moment is filled with grace and gratitude, and just like that the plan came together..
Now I won't reveal what the plan is but it starts at my morning rise and shine with the feminine divine ritual, with a little added LOVE my favorite french baguette recipe, my favorite coca chocolate , and Buddha tea. All of these require special trips to speciality stores I have found and used over the years, but I never used them just for me......
I am smiling right now, as I find pleasure and true bliss in my soul, as I have before, but with two distinct differences.
1. It's truly all about ME. I feel so much LOVE right now
2. I willingly am choosing to not save it for one day a year, I will indulge in myself as I do others, on a daily basis. Above the normal care.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's post on as I take you with me on my journey documenting each moment of Loving myself. I am my Valentine, the love of my life, in all my light and all my dark, no shame, no less than or back of line for me...Take a moment to reflect over your day, couple, kids, one, doesn't matter did you spend the same energy on YOU as you did on OTHERS>
LOVE THYSELF ABOVE ALL ELSE.
