i had an epiphany yesterday: i should be treating myself like the lover i'm supposedly waiting on!
the bathroom is clean
i've shaven things (or not shaven them)
my body smells like palm kernel & coconut oils
i'm playing pleasant music and burning incense
i have on my sexy around-the-house wear
i threw on my tallest shoes just to go get a glass of iced tea
things like this, we're told we should do for a potential or current (or even an ex!) lover, but what about us. we are the lovers of so many other folks & all these outside things . . . but what about US? we're important too, right?
treat yourselves, sistren, the way you'd want a lover to treat you or even the way you'd treat them!
why?
because it's nobody's job but yours to love you. :D
i know that's right!
thank you for that! so true, so on point!

Ase, Ase, Ase!
I was just talking with one of my sisters about the very same thing! It's nothing quite like loving and pampering one's self for one's own self! Thanks for sharing and reminding us to enjoy and love ourselves first! Take care and have a great week! Continue to press...
Be the blessing,

I Second That Yes...
I second that yes my sistas! We do need to treat ourselves like the Queens and Empresses we are. If we don't learn to love ourselves how do we expect anyone else to? You both have a wonderful Sunday afternoon! :o)
Yes...
that's such a wonderful sentiment. I am in complete agreement that treating yourself with special attention makes you feel stronger and more beautiful than anyone else can. Happy Sunday!
