This week, we focus on inviting love in all its forms, but most importantly self-love, the love that surrounds us in those quiet moments.
This week's affirmation is appropriately…
I DESERVE LOVE (JE MÉRITE L'AMOUR)
Remember, self-love is a continuous process, and it's okay to seek support from others, whether it's through friends, family, or professionals.
Taking the time to nurture and care for yourself is not selfish; it's a necessary foundation for a fulfilling and balanced life.
Below are some great resources, hand-picked by myself, Tamara Charese, to focus on self-love this week.

MEDITATION
Set a positive tone for your entire day with this practice that helps you establish a mindset of love and openness, not only towards others but also towards yourself.
This meditation will remind you to prioritize love, kindness, and connection, fostering a sense of emotional well-being that can improve your interactions with those around you.
Give yourself the gift of this meditation each morning this week, and watch as it nurtures your heart and soul throughout the day ahead.
TODAY I WILL LOVE... AND BE LOVED!

PODCAST
This is not a “podcast interview,” but an intimate conversation between a mother and a son about the most important topic you could discuss: self-love.
You may laugh out loud, even though your heart might break a little. And by the end of it, you’ll have not only wisdom, but also a couple of simple tools to help you learn how to like yourself a little more.
This conversation is a must-listen for EVERYONE in your life. And especially for young adults because when they hear these insights from someone their age, it’s way more compelling than getting advice from an adult.
I cannot wait to hear what you learn.

A stuntman, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job.
