Give Yourself the Gift of Love for Christmas
Time to write a letter to yourself, telling you what you deserve and why.
Find a nice comfortable, peaceful spot where you can sit quietly for a while without being disturbed. Now write the words you dare not think, tell yourself what you have wanted to hear but haven’t, be the adult telling you why you deserve a wonderful life.
I wrote my own letter 10 years ago and put it away. Unexpectedly, it surfaced a few months ago, even after moving 9 times and traveling across the world.
It was like a vision quest for my future. Speaking of ‘all the things I deserve in my life, not might’s or could be’s, or wants or needs, but things I deserve because I, like everyone else on this planet was a unique and special person.’ This letter told me these things. Include them in yours too!
My letter spoke of a soul mate, and what this person will be to me, the little girl within and her finding peace and love, of my personal needs, home and finances, finding success in any business venture I seek to undertake, and it finished with love, saying it will be love that surrounds me in my future world.
All these things written long before I had any interest or understanding of my own journey, yet what I wrote is what has become in my world.
Write your first thought, do not worry about spelling or editing. It is a letter from your heart. You may become tearful or smile, or feel nothing but peace. Whatever you feel is perfect.
Enjoy telling you what you think and feel. Enjoy hearing ‘your’ words. This letter is to put away in an envelope, somewhere special. With your name and private written on the front.
I would like to share an experience of this exercise in a workshop. Using the same forward as you have just read, I sent the group of to write their letters for 20 minutes, then after just 5 they started coming back to me saying “I can’t stop crying, I feel it so strongly”, “I feel this letter and don’t understand why”.
They went back to writing and I waited, putting on a CD and singing softly. “How could anyone ever tell you, you are anything less than beautiful, How could anyone ever tell you, you are less than whole. How could anyone fail to notice, that your loving is a miracle, How deeply you’re connected to my soul.” Elaine Silver ‘Fairy Goddess’
20 minutes later, they came back all teary, but saying how good it felt. I formed a circle, and sat arms outspread, we all held hands and felt love. And I talked softly. “Yes, even with the tears, comes much joy. Do you know why? Sometimes we literally feel as that child within us. We can feel sadness and pain, but as that of a child. Then we complain at her, saying how bad that ego part of us is. She cries inside even more.
Tonight you told her you love her. How special and perfect she is. You cared. And she cried the tears of joy. Of finally being recognized.”
What was happening was an amazing experience. We sat in a circle, after feeling and sharing with our inner children, the ache of the inner child had been felt and acknowledged, the love shared with her, and her joy experienced.
The only words to describe the feeling, was peace. The deepest and calmest sense of peace possible. So we sat and shared, and floated in our own thoughts and feelings. Sitting quietly together. It was delightful.
It was a small workshop, yet it was the most beautiful experience I could have imagined. I could feel these beautiful beings, and their inner release from doing this exercise. We came together to share a moment in time and space. And we shared openly, and freely with each other. What more could any of us desire?
Enjoy your letter experience!

Self Love & Acceptance
|
What if its not that we have to love and believe in ourselves, what if we just have to remove the reason that we don’t love and believe in ourselves.
Have you ever wondered why you view yourself as you do? Or if there is anything you can do to change what you think of yourself? Try the following.
Take a moment to think about the self talk you heard in your mind today. Did you tell yourself that you couldn’t do something, or that you weren’t good enough, perhaps you heard yourself saying that you’re a failure.
What if I told you that every single thing you tell yourself, originally came from another person telling you this. Do you remember some of the things you were told as a child?
Think about it. What words do you tell your children when your in a bad mood, rushing, or tired? The things you say without thinking or meaning. Every single thing you say to your child is taken as gospel and believed. That is what children do, they are sponges who take on all their beliefs of themselves, the world and their place in it from what is said to them and things they experience.
This is how you created your own beliefs of yourself when you were a child, and why you hear those same statements being repeated in your head constantly. The good news is that these beliefs are just temporary ones to use until you are ready to create your own special beliefs of yourself.
Next time you hear yourself saying something unpleasant to you, stop and ask. Is this statement logical? Do I really wish to believe it? Do I really want to live with my head filled with other people’s judgments and words?

It is an amazing experience to feel the love and acceptance for yourself blossom and grow.
