LOVE LETTERS TO YOURSELF
This is taken from a love letter (a gentle reminder)
I wrote to myself recently.
Live in your joy today.
Be authentic. Love yourself. First.

And keep on writing love letters to yourself.

in the company of enthusiastic positive people -
not necessarily those who agree with you,
but those who respect your right to your point of view.
