Love Begins Within

Nurture Your Inner Sanctuary: The Art of Self-Compassion Begins Within

In your profound desire to embrace the world, to extend your hand and share your generosity with others, do not forget the most vital role of all: You must be gentle with yourself first.

Your inner sanctuary must be nurtured with love. Being gentle with yourself means allowing yourself not to be strong all the time. It means giving yourself permission to say, "Today I am tired, and that is perfectly okay." It means forgiving yourself when things do not go exactly as planned and understanding that your unique path, which you bravely walk alone outside of the crowd, demands time and patience.

Embrace your vulnerability, and grant yourself the exact same tenderness and love you so selflessly give to the world.

Because your most important home will always be your own heart.
