When you receive a compliment, do you allow yourself to receive the affirming energy or do you push it away? Underneath any genuine compliment is the energy of love and acceptance: Energies that are necessary components to building and maintaining a strong foundation of self-love.

When is the last time you looked at play as sacred and included it as part of your daily practice of growth and awareness? Perhaps you believe that it is useless and only for children. Would you change your mind if you realized that the energies that are inherent in play are…..
