Developing Self Love on Valentine’s Day!

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Journey Tales and Happy Valentine's Day!

Here’s what I want you to do: grab a glass of your favorite wine (if you need a suggestion, I recommend a nice Pinot Grigio), sit back, and take a moment to celebrate yourself. Self-love is the best love! After all, if you don't truly love yourself, how can you fully love anyone else?

Come on, say it with me: "Let the journey begin!"

Since it's Valentine's Day, I promise to keep this brief! I'm excited to share some reminders on this lovely holiday. So yes, I'm single, and this isn't my first Valentine's Day flying solo. But don't get me wrong years ago, I was one of those people who would say,

"I HATE... Valentine's Day!"

But as I started to grow up mentally, I realized that Valentine's Day is a celebration of love, not just for your significant other, but also an opportunity to shower yourself with love because you deserve it more than anyone else.

Now, don't get me wrong— of course, we all deserve love and yearn for someone special. However, along the way, I have come to realize something very important: to truly love another person, I must first have a deep and unconditional love for myself.

The JOURNEY of self-love is truly a beautiful thing.

When we learn to embrace our own flaws and celebrate our strengths, we become more open and willing to share our lives with someone else.

Okay enough of that mushy stuff, I'm about to wrap this up so you can go celebrate yourself!
