What makes you tick? What makes you happy? I’ve always been told that we must love ourselves before we can truly love anyone else. the older I get, the more I realize that this saying is heavy with meaning and truth. Knowing who we are in small ways and big is a critical step in becoming confident individuals, capable of caring for another with pure, selfless love.  We must (in my opinion) claim our own identity and stand firm in this before we can “share” ourselves in the way that a fruitful and healthy (and happy!) relationship requires. I love this quote by Emerson…..what does it mean to you?

Just a Few Things/Thoughts:
