Dear Self I Love You

The most neglected relationship is with yourself. Oftentimes, we give so much love and care for others, and give what’s just left for us, worst is we forget to care for ourselves the way we do for others. Self-love is more than the physical self-care: of pampering our bodies, enjoying what we want to do or where we spend time for our passions. It is more than the tangible things we provide ourselves with, as a gift or reward for an achievement. It is more than being kind to ourselves. Self-love is self-preservation of our sanity, our safety and our spirituality. It is loving the wholeness in us, the acceptance of our flaws and faults, the sense of self-worth. We all know these things, but it is the hardest to do: to love ourselves first. Thus, our love tank often runs dry of the supply of love to sustain us, simply because we sacrifice self-love. Know the five worst effects of sacrificing self-love, have a self-check as you go through each pages, and begin to affirm and promise to love yourself more!

Self-love comes from within and helps us to feel good about ourselves. Often times, we feel good about ourselves when we have something that we value and appreciate about ourselves. However when we don't feel good about ourselves it's usually due to the loss of value in how we feel about ourselves for one reason or another which can sometimes lead us into not loving ourselves and is where this journal can be of use. This self-guided journal can be used as a creative space to explore, reflect, and hone in on all the positive values and attributes one finds about oneself through the healing power of journaling. By consistently focusing and reminding oneself through writing about all the positive values and aspects of oneself, may result in one ultimately feeling good about oneself as a result of finding insight; appreciation; acceptance; and a new found renewal of one's self-love. This journal has plenty of writing space for journaling. The journal also has a glossy cover, lined pages, and comes in size 7"x10".

There once was a time when I was angry with the world, everything and everybody in it. Nothing or no one could make me happy, no matter how hard they tried. People on the outside looking in, felt like I had it made. In reality, I was depressed, self loathing, and hated myself. I overcompensated in area of my life, trying to find acceptance and love from everyone, except the right one. Me. Perhaps, you've found yourself in the same predicaments that I have; jumping from relationship to relationship, seeking something that can only come from within. Maybe you find yourself criticizing everything you do and unable to let go of past hurts. Despite everything you've endured in your past, you are fully capable of building a self love foundation right where you are. In Dear Self, Please Forgive Me, I provide the necessary steps needed to build that foundation of love for self.

"A rousing call to action for more racially diverse children's literature." -Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW In this book a young girl pens a love letter to libraries and books, and powerfully expresses the need for diversity and the importance of representation in stories! There was just this one thing, this nagging suspicion, that I didn't meet the criteria for a heroine's condition. In the books that I read, an absence of melanin was a clear omission. A voracious young reader loves nothing more than going to the library and poring through books all day, making friends with characters and going off on exciting adventures with them. However, the more she reads, the more she notices that most of the books don't have characters that look like her, and the only ones that do tell about the most painful parts of their history. Where are the heroines with Afros exploring other planets and the superheroes with 'locs saving the day?
