&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“How much we know and understand ourselves is critically important, but there is something that is even more essential to living a Wholehearted life: loving ourselves.” (Brene Brown)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are self-conscious creatures from birth. Loving ourselves should be the most natural thing in the world one would think. It is sort of expected. Yet, it poses a big problem for most of us. We worry about how we look, how we dress, whether others like us, whether we’re too fat or too thin, whether we fit in, and a host of other things. As a member of the female species, I think that this is truer for women than for men. We just can’t seem to accept and love ourselves for who we are. &lt;strong&gt;“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Valentine Hearts Day</title><link>/posts/valentine-hearts-day/</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/valentine-hearts-day/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&amp;ldquo;attachment_2848&amp;rdquo; align=&amp;ldquo;aligncenter&amp;rdquo; width=&amp;ldquo;800&amp;rdquo;]&lt;img alt="In our deepest moments of struggle, frustration, fear, and confusion, we are being called upon to reach in and touch our hearts.
