Meet Rita Loyd. An artist, who through her art was able to transform her life and learn the importance of self-love.  As Rita puts it,

“Through this journey I have learned a great deal about self-love. And I now have learned how to implement self-love into all areas of my life. Some of the most important things I have learned about self-love are : Self-love is an ongoing process and it needs our nurturing every day. Self-love is about paying attention to what is going on with ourselves ~ spirit, mind and body instead of ignoring, avoiding, neglecting or numbing ourselves from the truth. And Self-love is about learning to speak to ourself, treat ourself and envision ourself with love, support and encouragement, in all areas of our life…. And nothing less.”

“Masked”

At times I hide behind a mask,
disguising who I am
and the frailties that I possess.
But then
the voice of my spirit emerges
and reminds me that
we all fall short of perfection.
And that those who appear perfect
are wearing a mask as well.
So, instead of hiding,
I am prompted to embrace
my imperfections with love.
and with this inner shift
of self acceptance,
a radiance shines forth
surpassing any physical adornment
I could ever possibly hide behind.

Below are a few of my favorite quotes from Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now.

“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.”

“Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don’t realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.”

“See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.”

“If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear.”
