I LOVE MYSELF

      What’s with me and holidays?  Thanksgiving I was in the Emergency Room after a nasty fall at home.  And Christmas I got the stomach flu.  Christmas Eve I spent with my friends and gave them their gifts.  I gave Barbara earrings.  Those dangling kind.  She loves those.  And I got Landlord Paul a sweater which by the grace of God fit him very well.  He looked quite dapper in it, I must say. 

     My real Christmas gift was this blog I came upon.  See below.  A writer called in to Cheryl Richardson's show.  She talked about his "little" book and how wonderful it was.  So, I looked him up in between bouts of nausea and found this.

     He writes about a friend who was so sick for so long and then began saying over and over, “I love myself.” He healed himself.  Then he wrote a book titled "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depended On It."  Now I know that loving ourselves is the most powerful thing we can do, but I don’t always do it.  So while laying in bed on Christmas, I began saying the mantra, “I love myself.” over and over.  I felt better immediately.  I got up, straightened up my bedroom, and played with the dog.  I ate something, and kept it down.  Paul came home later that night, and all was well.  Yesterday, I was still wobbly, but I am 100% today. 

     Check out this book and the picture of this writer, Kamal Ravikant.  He is gorgeous!
