We all grew up listening to fairy tales...how can be be blamed if we bought into them? I really DID want to be a princess, I really DID want to be rescued and adored by the handsome powerful prince. After a series of painful attempts at rescuing and being rescued, I realized it was not only ineffective - it was excrutciating and impossible. I love this quote by Tom Robbins, "We are our own dragons as well as our own hero's, and we have to rescue ourselves from ourselves."

What we were not told in regard to the fairy tales, is that each of the characters is an aspect of ourselves! I needed to find my inner prince, before he could show up in my life! I needed to love me, in order to attract love! It is so simple...but far from easy.

Loving from the "Inside Out" is putting ourselves at the top of our Love List - not something most of us are taught at home or in the class room. Most of us are taught to behave, do as we are told, be quiet, get good grades, clean the bathroom, etc. We learn we have to be a certain way and do certain things to gain accolades, acceptance and approval. The problem is, as we venture into the world, this "Outside In" way of being doesn't work very well.

It is a big transition to go from other-oriented to self-oriented, but this is when life can really start to work. To ask oneself "what honors me now" or "what does loving myself look like right now" and acting upon the information that comes forward, can start to change our relationship with ourselves and improve our lives almost immediately.

Now that I take care of myself first and foremost, I have more to give to others. I give from a place of abundance and overflow, rather than a depletion and exhaustion. Love yourself! Take care of yourself! Not only will you have more energy, you will attract more generous and loving people - because you are being generous and loving with yourself. You are an exquisite aspect of the Divine, and you deserve the best the Universe has to offer! You as much as anyone deserves your own love! Tell me what you think!

Having experienced a series of painful, unhealthy, destructive relationships, I finally asked myself WHY? WHY are relationships so hard, WHY are they so confusing and WHY do they hurt so much? I eventually set a strong intention to figure it out. Not only so that I could be happy, but so I could light the way for others that are suffering like I suffered. I am happy to report - I finally figured it out!

In my book "Manifesting Love From the Inside Out," I share my healing journey and the process of clients. But more importantly this book serves as a healing guide for YOU, the reader, so you can make this remarkable journey for yourself.

In this blog, I will be discussing the core principles of manifesting love, tips as well as information and exercises from my book. I look forward to starting a dialogue with you and answering questions. I hope to hear from you soon!

Manifesting Love From the Inside Out

It seems everyone wants true love...it is the holy grail of humanity (well, that and hitting the lottery). But even money and success mean nothing if we do not have love in our lives. If we all agree about the power of love why is it so elusive, challenging and painful? If everyone is in agreement about wanting it - why is it so hard? That is exactly what we will be discussing here on this blog. The questions...and the answers about creating a true, heartfelt, loving supportive connection with another human being. So, stay tuned! I look forward to hearing from you!
