[...] Self-love is one of the things I constantly struggle with, and I’ve learned that this struggle makes it hard for me to accept it from anyone else. My husband will tell you how hard it is for me to take a compliment, and self-deprecating humor is a tried-and-true part of my limited social repertoire. This is pretty much the way it’s always been, but not the way it always has to be. I’m working to change it, and this exercise feels like the perfect place to begin.

Denene, you know the feeling is mutual! I love you too, and you constantly inspire me with your wisdom and talent. I love having women like you around me, even if it’s only “virtual” most of the time!

Jennae, you are so fly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a brilliant example of why we need to remember to celebrate ourselves! Your last reason “ability to see the bigger picture” moved me in an incredible way.

I’m so glad you entered the contest, my fellow Island Woman!!!

Beautiful, baby! I LOVE THIS—and I absolutely adore you… your hair is FIRE, I love your accent, too (it’s just so pretty!), your creativity is sheer genius and, above all else, I appreciate your spirit. I’m so glad you wrote this, and I’m so happy to be counted as a friend… Keep shining!
