Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Aug/Sept 2017 Aspire Mag Sample Issue | Page 18

LETTER EDITOR FROM THE ”Self-care is never a selfish act—it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others.” PARKER PALME Welcome to the Aug/Sept “The Journey to Loving Yourself Fully” issue of Aspire. “To truly build your own self-love practice start by addressing your inner critic and turning the negative voice into a more kind and compassionate one.” – SHANNON KAISER I’ll be turning 55 years old later this year and I can finally say I am truly at peace with who I am. I love myself!!!! I love myself enough to honor my truth, embrace my perfectly imperfect body, and to nourish my body, mind, and spirit with what’s needed. The days of doubting my worth are over and it’s a powerfully peaceful place to be. It took me many years of internal struggle to get there and, through the conversations and buzz in the Aspire community, I’m not alone. In bestselling author, international speaker, retreat leader and teacher Shannon Kaiser’s cover feature, How a Self-Love Experiment Can Help You Become Your Own Best Friend, she shares the intimate journey that led her to create The Self- Love Experiment. One of the tips she shares is such an important one. Kaiser suggests that we talk about and to ourselves in a more positive light. That was a big one for me and it’s a powerful step in learning to love yourself.
