Hello! Have you thought about getting a “Celebration of Me” journal? This is something we focused on in the “I am Fabulous” Workshop this past Saturday. It is a great way to focus on building self-love. The neat thing about it is that you start to zone in on the positive things about you—because you begin looking for things to add to your journal. And as you know what you focus on expands—which is the positive things about YOU!
Here is another Love Poem someone wrote to themselves at the Workshop.
Love Poem to Me
Your eyes–they still look upon the heaven….
Where peace and love can be found
Your lips–still perfectly forming expression to the world
Some understood, some not
Your hands–so soft and warm–touching lightly
Hands of comfort they are
Your body–sound & sturdy
Holds you strongly, firmly
Grounding to the Earth
You are amazing in all ways.
Beautiful, inquisitive, Loving one
Cyndee
Today write a Love poem to YOU!

Hello! Thank you for your patience as I iron out my computer issues. I am still not on line. I have to back up all of my files on my computer and re-install my operating system. I am at my friend Kathleens using her computer. One thing I love about these kinds of situations is it puts us in a position of reaching out to those around us and asking for help–giving the opportunity to connect in a deeper way. I have had magic moments of connecting with my friends as I am over at their homes using their computers. It helps me see the gifts of a challenging situation.
The “I am Fabulous” Workshop was Fabulous!! A great group of people who were so open to loving themselves at a deeper level. One of the exercises that we did in the Workshop is each person brought a “Celebration of Me” journal—a journal dedicated to gathering loving cards and statements received from others as well as their own loving thoughts to themselves. As the first entry to their journal I had them write a Love poem to themselves. Some of the Workshop participants gave me permission to share their poems with you. I will share one today and one tomorrow.
Love Poem To My Self
You have such kind and gentle ways
You deserve peace and love all you days
Go—Let your light Shine– because you are a wonderful child of mine .
Be merry, be bright you are such a delight
I am so proud of you and how you take a stand
Never fear–I will be for you your upper hand.
Wendy
So today go get your very own ”Celebration of Me” journal and begin to gather loving words to celebrate the beauty and magnificence of you!!

Hello and welcome to my blog. This will be a daily blog to give you practical everyday tips for living a Radiant Life (a life in alignment with your true essence)–and also inspiration to keep your Spirit lifted. Feel free to add your comments–I would love to hear from YOU! As I worked with clients today the theme of self-worth kept surfacing. The core of most issues that people seek counseling for is a lack of self-esteem–not seeing themselves clearly. Many people have a very distorted vision of who they are. These disortions come from the way that others have viewed them in the past or how they were treated. If someone doesn’t make a conscious effort to see themselves clearly their self-esteem will be determined by these disortions. It is like wiping the dirt and dust from a windshield–there may be layers of distortions to remove before there is clarity.
Who you really are is beautiful, brilliant, shining, loving unique Spirit. There are different exercises that you can do to learn to see yourself more clearly. I will go over some of these exerises in my blog tomorrow. If you are in the Green Bay area I will be giving an hour long presentation on Thursday October 18th from 6-7 p.m. at Fitnessology. See the listing under the services section. For those of you who really want to make a big shift in your Self-Esteem I will be doing a day long “I am Fabulous” Workshop on Saturday October 27th from 9:30-5 p.m.–again see the Services section. Until then give yourself a big hug and say “You are beautiful just the way you are!”
