The 14 Days of Self-Love Project!

The time has come!  The 14 Days of Self-Love are here!

Welcome to February and with it comes a chance to not only celebrate a month in which we think about the people that we love but is a chance for us to turn the love back on ourselves and I’m honoured to have these incredible contributors here to celebrate self-love, self-care and resilience with me.

I started this project 3 years back as a way to counteract the overwhelming focus of external love around this season.  Instead, we can take it as an invitation to turn our gaze on ourselves and explore ways to deepen our relationship to self-love and to self-care.

Of course, its not that it only takes 14 days to find our way to self-love…that of course is a beautiful, non-linear journey we all get to go on for a lifetime.  But in these next 14 days I hope you’ll drop by and join me in savouring the stories that these folks are bravely sharing about their own journey to self-love.
