Imagine a love affair with yourself…
“Suddenly, and for the first time, she was at the center of her own life, living it and loving it.” – Mary Balogh
You, at the centre,
a full-blown love affair with yourself.
That luscious, heady feeling…all for you.
Murmured words of love,
a tender gaze…just for you.
Imagine…
“If we listened to our intellect we’d never have a love affair.” – Ray Bradbury
For now, give your intellect a rest.
Listen only to your heart,
let it bask in your fullest attention.
Your soul yearns
to be acknowledged,
a willing lover
whispering,
waiting for your embrace.
Wrap your arms around it.
And hold on for dear life.
Fire burns in your belly.
Your most desired feelings,
like lava, burning to flow freely.
Unleash their fullest expression.
Look back and remember.
There have been times you knew this love.
See it, hear it, feel it,
in that deepest part of you. . .
no one ever sees.
“Love affairs, in their beginnings, are all about the present.” – Kate Morton
The present, a most precious gift.
Breathe it in like a lover’s scent.
Not yesterday, not tomorrow,
only now.
And take heart…
“Courage Is a Love Affair with the Unknown” – Osho
Trust that you are up to the task.
Beautiful! Learning to love ourselves is the first step to healing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful post and have a great day!
Cathy Taughinbaugh It’s sometimes a hard lesson, this loving ourselves, but so worth the effort!

Sandi, this is a perfect message on this day that doesn’t make me feel good about myself because I’m not partnered up. I will partner up with myself today. I can’t think of better company.
Carol Hess Partner up and cherish yourself my friend. You are the one you’ve been waiting for. xoS
Absolutely gorgeous photos, Sandi – and beautiful words of course to accompany them 🙂
Sabrina at MyMiBoSo Thank you! I used to be all about the photos. Then I started writing and became all about the words. The past few months have reminded me what I love about both of them and the evolution continues 🙂
Loving yourself – my favorite topic in the world. I know your words will reach and have reached many who need to be comforted, need to be motivated, inspired and feel cradled by their own beautiful selves.
anneso87 While I write these words often for myself, I do hope with all my heart that others feel the love too. xoS
Sandi Amorim oh, we do. 🙂
