“Love and Happiness”
by Tami Chandler

So much emphasis is placed on finding love with others. While loving relationships are obviously important in life, love of self is important, too. After all, how can we expect others to appreciate us or enjoy our company if we don’t?

We each have numerous gifts, talents, and attributes that set us apart; traits that make us truly special. Healthy self-love (not to be confused with conceit) is powerful. When we love ourselves, we feel a lightness of being and a fulfillment that doesn’t require constant validation outside ourselves. Sharing time and love with other people then becomes a bonus – icing on the cake.
We become a blessing to others when we can share our true selves, and in turn we can fully receive the love they have to offer. Sing your own special song, and others will want to sing along.
