“It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.” ~Sally Field

 This week, we offer up our very best wishes for a week filled with Self Love and Self Appreciation, on your own terms. It is said that we can be our own worst critic, but most often, we are thinking about what we think others are thinking. Yet when we are alone with ourselves and enjoying just being or doing or creating, what is their to judge? Absolutely Nothing. Enjoy Being You Today.

“An artist’s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else’s.” – J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

This week, we offer the reminder — we all start somewhere, and we all are where we are. Enjoy it, relish it, and do your best at whatever you are doing and creating, for the simple joy it brings you, and for the reward of being able to step back and appreciate what you have brought forth regardless of input from anyone else. You are amazing, brilliant and creative.

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama

Our wish for you this week, is that you are incredibly kind to your Self. It is amazing to remember, that how we are to others is how we feel and are treating ourselves..and vice versa. May you find space this week for total acceptance of yourself, for your art and many creations, for your “way” …let this be a week to first give that kindness to yourself and then reflect it back to all you touch.
