Self-love is the foundation for all the important relationships in your life.
That is something that I believe in so strongly, and have experienced first hand what happens when my self-love practice is basically non-existent. All other relationships suffer.
I’ve been in relationships and while they were “okay”, I know now that they were not healthy or right for me. I know now that I was in fact not happy and knew deep down that the individual was not for me.
But I stayed in these relationships and I gave 110% of myself to “make it work”. I held on for dear life at times trying to repair whatever might of been wrong. I put all of my needs, what I stood for, who I was and what I wanted on the back burner to make this individual believe that I was exactly what they wanted.
Boy did that not me anywhere. Following a rather difficult break up, one that honestly shook me to my very core, I decided I was done. I needed a break from relationships – but it wasn’t to work on “me”. I wasn’t even aware that I needed any work internally to fix what I was attracting in my life.

Fortunately, life had other plans for me and forced me to look inward and become aware of some things that were just not right. Once I started to work on my self-love, I noticed a shift in my relationships, the ones I had with family and friends of course because I was still swearing off men.
I felt more confident in my own skin, and was able to show up as my authentic self. I was able to stick to my beliefs and keep my boundaries in place. And the list goes on and on from there.
7 years later, I met someone that is exactly what I wanted with all the qualities I was looking for. Someone that is also a best friend that I can laugh and be utterly silly with. And boy was the wait for it.
Now, not everyone will take 7 years off, but that is what I needed! For my guest, it was quite shorter than that but it happened at the right time and with the right person.
