The month of May has been shitastic – shitty in a fantastical way. I have personally been struggling with health mattes, money matters, and relationship matters, and everyone else seems to be struggling much the same. The worst part (because yes, it could be worse) is that the celestial bodies above are insisting that we sit through this storm a little longer, and do nothing. There is just too much going on, frankly, and the ego demands for willful assertion will only be challenged in the coming weeks. You may have noticed too, that while we wait for external progress, there has been an internalizing of anxiety. Yep, that is also an integral part of the Universe’s plan – a whole lot of self-digging and questioning, which, let’s face it, is not everyone’s favorite pastime.

...I was still single, not loving, but fabulous nonetheless. ​I wondered what would happen to our friendship. Would we lose touch as had been the case with others, or would we keep to our weekly coffee dates?

I often tell the empowered men and women I coach who are looking for love that in order to receive the love they want, they have to be the love they seek. As cliché as it sounds, it is true; you cannot expect the love you desire if you are not loving yourself in a way that is desirable. Like really does attract like, people, and if we don’t like (or love) ourselves, then why should anyone else? This is simple in theory, but we tend to get it wrong, and the main reason is this: self-love is often mistaken for status or self-care.
