Most of us say yes without really thinking about it… but loving yourself goes beyond self-care routines and positive affirmations. It’s about: - The way you speak to yourself daily - What you allow (or don’t allow) in relationships - The standards you set for your health, wealth, and happiness - Choosing yourself first without guilt When you really love yourself, your life shifts. Opportunities open up. Relationships improve. Confidence grows. 💖 So let me ask you again: Do you love yourself? I have been on the self love journey for quite some time. It is a practice just like a meditation practice, a yoga practice. It takes time, energy and work.

💫 Contrast. Lately, I’ve been moving through some challenges — the kind that test your patience and your peace. First, it was my neighbor’s trash (they were out of town) … maggots … then flies 🫣. Yesterday, it was my car battery dying at the most inconvenient time. It’s funny how life gives us these moments — not to punish us, but to remind us who we are becoming in the process. The truth is, life isn’t easy. It’s full of contrast — light and dark, joy and frustration, peace and chaos. But the power lies in how we respond, not how we react. ✨ I’m learning to pause. ✨ To breathe. ✨ To choose faith — even when faith feels hard for me. I wasn’t raised with much faith, so trusting in something bigger than me hasn’t always come naturally. But I’ve learned that faith isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about believing that even the messy moments are guiding me somewhere meaningful. In Kabbalah, it’s said that everything is always happening for us — for our growth, our healing, and our expansion. One of my teachers even says, whenever something challenging happens, to simply pause and say, “What a gift.” It shifts everything. It helps us look for the lesson, the blessing in the situation. For me, it is usually gratitude. And thank G-d for good friends (and their mechanic husbands 😅) who remind me that I don’t have to walk through it all alone. If you’re in a season of contrast too — remember: this is where growth happens. 🌿 Keep the faith, even when it feels hard. #FaithJourney #KabbalahWisdom #Contrast #Growth #EmpoweredLiving #WhatAGift #Surrender

I asked AI, in Kabbalah, what it means when another speaks negatively about someone… 🔹 1. If others speak negatively about you (Lashon Hara – Evil Speech): Kabbalah views lashon hara (gossip, slander, or any negative talk about someone) as one of the most spiritually damaging acts—not only for the speaker but also for the subject and the listener. Key ideas: Energetic Transfer: When someone speaks negatively about you, they may unknowingly transfer their spiritual energy (or merit) to you. In a sense, you gain some of their light while they lose it. Spiritual Mirror: Everything that happens externally is a reflection of internal reality. If people speak about you, especially unjustly, it may be revealing something within you that needs healing or elevation—but it may also be a test of ego and humility. Tikunei Nefesh (Soul Correction): Being spoken about, especially falsely or unjustly, can serve as a tool for spiritual refinement. If you respond without hatred or revenge, it may serve to cleanse aspects of your soul. 🔹 2. If others praise you (Positive Speech): Kabbalah also warns about too much praise: Ayin Hara (Evil Eye): Excessive praise can draw unwanted attention from spiritual forces or people with jealousy, triggering what’s called ayin hara—a kind of negative energy or spiritual imbalance caused by envy. Stay Hidden: The Zohar teaches that "blessing rests only on that which is hidden from the eye." Being talked about—even positively—can diminish your spiritual protection if you're not grounded. 🔹 3. Your Response Matters Most Kabbalah emphasizes inner work: If you're being talked about, instead of reacting with ego, anger, or judgment, ask: What is this situation mirroring to me? How can I respond in a way that elevates my soul? What part of me is still reactive, and why? This approach helps you reclaim your energy rather than lose it through emotional reactions. 🔹 Practical Kabbalistic Tools Silent Endurance: Holding your peace when gossiped about can elevate your soul.

For years now I’ve been trying to figure out my life. Why have I always seen such big things in my head only to open my eyes and see someone clueless. It was a time that I would avoid social media because everyone’s life looked so fun and marvelous and mines, well it looked like a bowl of gumbo. I see others surrounded by those who appear to celebrate them. I look around and all I see is a room. I can leave my phone for months in one place and I may have a total of two missed calls. Yet I didn’t even look at my data when I took the leap to start my business. Someone even told me that I didn’t need a space to provide my services I could’ve done it remotely. Even now I’m shifting through thoughts of despair to hold on to the hope of the promise, because the last time I gave up a whole industry was born from something I was doing that only a few wanted. So i sat on the sidelines in amazement as I watched the things that I was doing that was strange blossom into businesses for others. So this time no matter what I’m telling myself there’s no comparison in a gift from the Divine. No matter if the room is empty or full I’ll continue to show up present and ready. I may appear to be solo when i show up but I know God is ALWAYS with me🫶🏽
