Sister, remember this:
:: you are completely and utterly loved.:: the intelligence that grows the leaves on the trees, is also moving you. Surrender.:: your body is a miracle. It breathes, it pumps, it digests and it moves. It is God in action. Just stop. Stop right now, being so violent towards it.:: the body is earth… awakeningwomen.com
Christine Arylo has declared 2/13 as International Falling In Love With Yourself Day. What could be more appropriate than a focus on self love for women and girls the day before Valentines Day.
As each of us as women step up to the plate in our lives and bring courage, strength, wisdom, collaboration, listening, and our own uniquely wild creative expression and stories….. we become free. In this stepping up however, we must embrace our wholeness, and love every single itty bitty part of ourselves – even those parts that we would rather hide under the rug or in the bushes some place! Not always easy…
So girlfriends come out and play today – and everyday that you possibly can! Here is a video that reminds us 
why we are being called to action on the global, national, and community fronts of our lives. It is when we say YES! to our unique dance in life, and fall in love with ourselves, that we are able to inspire other women to do the same while living our lives FREE.
This is ALWAYS an inside job. When done with dedication and commitment you light up the world! Join the Tribe.

Thank you Gaye for this powerful and inspiring post. I am falling in love with myself and sharing this with all the women and girls in my life. We are truly beautiful, precious, and magnificent! I celebrate myself and every woman! Much love to you, Gaye.
Thank YOU Jane for being an inspiration for me, your beautiful daughter Jenna, and all women who are doing the inside work that is the essential part of falling in love with ourselves. Watch out world….here we come!! No more hiding our light! Big Love on a wave back to you!
Right on, Sister! I’m celebrating my unconditional love for myself today by completing my taxes, writing my newsletter (about unconditional love) and heading over to Blossoming Lotus for dinner with a great friend….yes, giving “myself” all the good stuff and knowing that I’m whole and loving as a single woman. By loving ourselves first and foremost we’re prepared to create a beautiful and fulfilling partnership with a Beloved. I do believe I’m ready for the first time ever (and that’s hard to admit since I’m almost 60!) And what a gift!!!! Yes, it’s indeed an inside job…and the most important one we have. Love to you, Gaye!!!
It is women like you Susan who inspire other women to keep on keepin on with that inside work….and then there you are to CELEBRATE the coming out with a smile that could light up Portland! LOVE!! back at you. You’ve come a long way baby!!
