NEW BEGINNINGS and EXPECTATIONS FOR A STUNNING YEAR of LOVE

Hello ,

I write as one who has taken a long time to learn this lesson: love is all around us waiting to be accepted. We turn it away right and left, front and back. And even yet, someone will offer help and I fail to accept. The blessing is not only am I receiving love from another if I accept, but I allow them to express their love by receiving their help. It's tough when you've been taught that way as a child, to do it yourself and to not rely on others.

Right now I am taking a wonderful course from Dr. Margaret Paul about Loving Yourself. For 30 days I get a short video and some written material along with a loving action to take. You see, as a person who grew up amongst the cornfields of Ohio, I was taught to be nice to everyone. But I wasn't included in the list. That's completely backwards of what actually works. That extreme people pleasing is a controlling behavior sure to boomerang on whoever operates this way.

Instead, I am learning that I must listen to my soul, or inner child, and do what is loving for myself FIRST. My love will grow until I have so much more love to offer others. I can still be kind and loving, but also authentic and able to stick up for myself. It is our childhood wounded selves lodged in our subconscious mind that causes us to self-sabotage, please others at all costs, make very harmful choices for ourselves, turn to addictions, etc. 

At any rate, I trust you are navigating all the challenges coming your way with love in your heart, and even a sense of humor. Sometimes it's so absolutely zany that you just have to laugh and forget to cry.

Some book promos below and my gratitude for being on my list. I am finding a few beta readers for my romantasy, Secrets of the Faery Worlds & Other Hidden Realms. So please stay tuned for any launch team opportunities. I am having a great time with Aubergine, a fantasy with time travel and romantic elements. I never knew that dragons could be so much fun!
