...and it's not unusual to want to be loved by everyone ---ooops, sorry! I kept hearing the old Tom Jones song in the background when I was reading your blog. lol

Say there girl, it feels good to get warm fuzzies from everyone. But guess what? It's not set up that way, none of us get that kind of privilege from others. (psssst..that's why some of us take a fancy to God, He loves everybody the same ;-)

So getting dissed by a few people here and there is to be expected, but dissing yourself, now that's a NO -NO! Don't you think it's enough having parasites, mold, viruses and bacteria, say nothing of pesticides, hydrogenated fats and fake foods attempting against your body's health, happiness and well being?!?! You wanna join their ranks and self destruct? Surely not!!! These things are your real enemies and you must fight to overcome!

Look, I've learned the hard way that most of the time people are NOT thinking what you think they are thinking 'cause they are too busy thinking and obsessing over themselves while I'm obsessing over myself. How silly is that? Of course, there will be a few times (many in my case) when someone out there has a less than favorable opinion of me. Hmmmm...here's a good trick: Take that opinion and turn it in your mind into a pussywillow (you know those fluffy little balls) see yourself place it in the open palm of your hand and look at it tenderly and say to it, very sincerely, "Thank you Mr.Bad Opinion, you've allowed me to see something I needed to see, but you must go now, bye...." and gently but purposefully blow it away as far as you can. Then turn around and go have a nice cup of tea (or whatever you like).

Being good to yourself is the first of some universal rule somewhere...and you'll always find that the more you love, respect and take care of yourself, the more self-confidence you build, the more people will be attracted to you in a really good way....really! Now go practice some form of self-kindness right away -
Oh, and as you go, here's a kiss for your little cheek from me --- ~♥~ (smack)
