I once felt judged that I was not enough - not sexy enough, not educated enough, not financially buffeted enough, not successful enough. It fueled destructive patterns that I would create to attain these things in order to please those whom I felt negatively judged by. What I learned about myself - and not only … Continue reading A Note on Love and Acceptance
“Emotional” Workout
Have you ever had one of those really tough days that just seemed to drain you?
