In the absence of other's love, your self love and love of God with sustain you. I continue to struggle with my ability to love myself to the point that I recognize the difference between being selfish and the empowerment of self love. I think that we all should write a letter to ourselves. The letter should challenge us to always put ourselves first, make a deposit in your own love bank before you try to satisfy other's needs for your love. Loving yourself first is not because we are vain or conceited but because we are worthy. Strip away the facade that we show to the world and honestly make self love the first priority. Love yourself to the point that the beautiful image that you were created in by God shows through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064153364411527910.post-18208369236566892232010-03-04T12:21:20.929-05:002010-03-04T12:21:20.929-05:00your letter still makes me cry, it is so beautiful...your letter still makes me cry, it is so beautiful and touchingCandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172946860192260540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064153364411527910.post-64191735639333121952010-03-03T22:11:27.817-05:002010-03-03T22:11:27.817-05:00Dear Trish, thank you.

I can't begin to express how profoundly touched I am by your ability and willingness to share how your experiences with Go Tell Michelle and especially with me and Peggy, affected you personally and professionally. I am doublely pleased and appreciative that you carried the book, its messages and its lessons back to share with your students. The young women who shared their letters with us tonight were not only courageous to share/read their inner-most thoughts out loud to an audience of known and unknown individuals but are to be commended for their willingness to explore themselves in a way that most of us avoid because we fear the idea of coming face to face with things about ourselves we'd rather not think about. Again, thank you for showing us how "Go, Tell Michelle" has limitless potential to help us to examine the issues that are most important for us as women, as women of color, and as women of any age. Love and kisses to those beautiful young women and to you! BarbaraGTM Sisterhood Networkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251994076126529854noreply@blogger.com
