February The” Love” Month

It’s the Love month and I want to share some tips with you to start practicing Self Love; which starts from within. Self-love is defined as "love of self" or "regard for one's own happiness or advantage.” (Wikipedia)

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection." -- Buddha
