It also highlights what I hope will be my next book on inspiration.

This week’s inspiration is from our childhood. It is called playtime. Playtime is described as a way to play and to be diverted from your daily routine. But it’s described as something that children do, but not adults. We all need playtime. We all need to be diverted from our regular duties, such as work, paying bills, and cleaning the house, whatever you need to do. You need to be diverted and play. Play for the simple joy of play…..
This month’s inspiration is a phrase we’ve all heard. A phrase we all have used. The phrase is “this too shall pass”. We’re all going to experience dark times -tough times -rough times, and we’re going to feel like they’re never going to end. And that nothing good is ever going to flow back into our lives, and it can paralyze us. But if you’ll say this phrase to yourself -this too shall pass – it will remind you that…..
This week’s inspiration is resilience. Resilience means the ability to bounce back. And we all need this ability because we’re all going to have tough times – rough times – hard times and some of us bounce back better than others. So maybe you need to reconnect to your resilience. The ability to bounce back. Do not let hard times pull you down and keep you down. Resilience means bouncing back and starting over again. And we all have the…..
When working on returning to self-love, it’s important to become light-hearted. Now, light-hearted is described as cheerful, hopeful, and enjoying your life, which is the whole point of self-love to enjoy your life. So become light-hearted and know that you being light-hearted may impact those around you or who are a little less than light-hearted. Light-heartedness means you have faith in the loving universe and that the universe is on your side and things will go your way eventually. So…..
When working on returning to self-love, you are going to embrace freedom. Now what do I mean by freedom? I mean freedom from your negative beliefs. Beliefs that keep you small and in a tiny box not allowing you to experience the grandness of this life. Freedom from the negative thoughts you have running in your head every day telling you that you’re not good enough – that you’re less than – that you’re miserable. Freedom from your inner wounds…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to realize a vital fact – that love is always present. Love is always present, especially in the darker times. I can speak the truth of this because I experienced this myself when I helped my mother, my best friend, and my aunt pass on. I was in a dark space, but I was still able to connect to love – to let it wash over me. Let it wrap its arms…..
When working on returning to self-love, it’s important to embrace a smiling face. And when I say a smiling face, I mean a smiling face on you. Because when you walk around with a smiling face, no matter how much money you have in your pocket, no matter how much people are treating you poorly or badly – but when you walk around the world with a happy face it means that you know in your heart of hearts that…..
When working on returning to self-love, you’re going to have to become true to yourself. What does that mean to be true to yourself? It means listening to what your heart wants and not going against it. How many times have we said yes to something when we really wanted to say no thanks? I’m not interested. How many times have you done something that you wish you weren’t doing, but you figured it would make somebody else happy? You’ve…..
When working on your way back to self-love, you’re going to have to decide that everything that happens in your life is for goodness. It is for your advantage. That life is in your favor, even if it looks dark as hell. You’re going to have to realize that this is in your favor and you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves and figure out what it’s here to teach you. Perhaps it’s teaching you to change some…..
