      Absolutely, Renee! I have just recently said those very words to my daughters. All that truly matters is your audience of One!

    Nice blog. It is so important to love oneself. Without self-love first, people will turn to desperation and nothing good can come out of something so negative.

      Thank you, Tami. That is so true about self-love. One can have such confidence and high self esteem until they are told repeatedly that they aren’t good enough, no one will ever want them, etc. Once a person hears it, those words are hard to shake. If they hear it on a regular basis, it does such damage to them. They begin to lose confidence and their self esteem is lowered with every harsh word spoken against them. I lived it at the hands of others that took great pleasure in tearing me down every chance they got. I resisted a great deal at first, but again, after hearing it repeatedly, it does something to a person. Now, though, I realize that hurting people HURT people … and the person that did this to me was hurting a great deal. It does not excuse it by any means, but it helps me to develop a clearer understanding of the abuse … because that’s what it was. It takes a great deal of time to heal after such treatment. That is why I am trying to support, encourage, uplift, and love on as many people as I can through the words “spoken” here. Also, I do not want my two daughters to EVER go through what I’ve gone through. I build them up as much as possible so that they know without a shadow of a doubt that they are loved, treasured, cherished and already approved … by me … and God above! Thank you for stopping by!
