SESSION 02: SELF-LOVE
Love & Black History™ Sessions
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self preservation…" -Audre Lorde
SPEAK ALOUD: Self Love - Â \Self`-love`\ loving myself IS the belief I hold that I am a valuable and worthy person. Loving myself means caring about, taking responsibility for, respecting and getting to know and grow myself. An example of self love is when you have a positive view of yourself and are confident in yourself and your place in the world.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?...” ― Marianne Williamson
The quickest way to feel loving toward yourself is to act loving toward yourself. Consistently engage yourself in positive self talk. Joel Osteen contends, “Whatever follows the “I am” will eventually find you.” Become aware of what you say to yourself. How many thoughts are framed with negative words? What are you telling yourself you won’t, can’t, are not? Are you blessing your life? Or are you cursing it?
“...but when you say, “I am beautiful,” not only does beauty, youth, and freshness start coming your way, but on the inside, your spirit also comes alive. Your self-image begins to improve...” -Joel Osteen. Positive self talk is a great confidence builder and confidence is attractive on everyone.
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ―Marianne Williamson

"I learned to love myself unconditionally because I am a queen…"

"She is on the path of self discovery, loving herself through music."
--Oprah Winfrey
Born October 3, 1975 in the presidential era of Gerald E. Ford and Nelson Rockafella in Denver, CO, India Arie (birthed India Arie Simpson), renowned American contemporary soul singer-songwriter, musician, actress and record producer, creates music that speaks to self love and self worth. To date India has sold over 3.3 million records in the US and 10 million worldwide, won four Grammy Awards and has been nominated 21 times, including for Best R&B Album.
Absorbing her musical skill early in life, she was encouraged by both parents: her mother, Joyce, herself a former singer, and now India's stylist; and her father, former ABA and NBA basketball player Ralph Simpson. India's chosen words, melodies, titles, duets and causes demonstrate an innate knowing of self love, yet India still had to take her own discovery journey. She uses four words to describe this journey: Breakdown, Breakthrough, Elevate and Fly READ MORE * READ MORE

Tasty & Sexy Foods That De-Stress
No particular recipe today. Just sharing the benefits of these great food de-stressors that are great alone or in combination with one another. Not only do these foods make great meals and snacks, they are very healthy whole foods that taste great, too!
Berries: Bluberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Elderberries in any form, Raspberries, Acai Berries, Goji Berries, Golden Berries - **no cranberries**
Salmon: only wildcaught - an excellent source of vitamin B12, vitamin D and selenium. It is a good source of niacin, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, phosphorus and vitamin B6.
Walnuts: The health benefits of walnuts include a reduction of bad cholesterol in the body, an improvement in metabolism, and control of diabetes. Other important health benefits of walnuts stem from the fact that these nuts possess anti-inflammatory properties, aid in weight management, and help as a mood booster. They are also believed to slow down the spread of cancer.
Yogurt (beware of certain brands - all yogurt is not equal): suggest Greek yogurt and brands: Chobani (find in most supermarkets) and Wallaby (find in Wholefoods, Trader Joes, etc). What distinguishes Greek yogurt is its thicker, creamier texture because the liquid whey is strained out. Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts. Probiotic cultures may benefit you from lowering your blood pressure to loving your gut.
Hemp Seeds: If you’re looking to improve digestion, balance hormones and improve metabolism, then hemp seeds may just be the superfood for you. Hemp Seeds: The therapeutic highlights of hempseeds include they have an excellent 3:1 balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which supports cardiovascular health * they're high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which has been proven to naturally balance hormones * they are a “Perfect protein” source, not only containing all 20 amino acids, but also each of the 9 essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce * they're rich in soluble and un-soluble fiber which naturally cleanses the colon and reduces sugar cravings. Hemp Seeds are virtually tasteless, so just sprinkle a tablespoon on your food two to three times a day.

And, Women, berries are a girl's best friend! Bright, flavorful, and sweet superfruits, berries are high in antioxidants and polyphenols which help fight chronic disease and cancer. And their health benefits just keep getting sweeter!
Blueberries help promote urinary tract health. Containing polymer, heavy molecule compound along with other antibiotic properties they help inhibit growth of and wash away bacteria such as b-coli along the walls of urinary tract.
2. FORGET VIAGRA – next time you feel your libido slipping try scoffing a bowl of strawberries or raspberries. Both fruits have seeds which contain high levels of zinc, the nutrient most associated with sex.They also contain large amounts of anti-oxidants which help blood flow to the sexual organs.
In males, zinc regulates the level of testosterone which is needed for sperm production. In women, the higher the zinc level the quicker the body apparently prepares itself for sex. And it’s not just the zinc content of the berries which is beneficial in the bedroom. They have the lowest glycemic load of any fruit, meaning they provide sustained energy levels at only a few calories!
Keep your sexy going with decadent goodness! Have a Lovely Day and save some money as Soul Purpose's wonderful sunny fragrance topped with Japanese white peonies and a kiss of Bulgarian rose permeates the healing luxury of your Body Polish, Body Custard, Body Gloss and Solid Scent.
