You really can’t underestimate the value of relationships in your life. People are meant to be with other people and there is 
something so rewarding when you have good, solid relationships in your life.
It’s been said that if you can count the number of your true friends on one hand, you’re lucky. True friends will pick you up when you are down, love you when you’re not lovable and tell you what you need to know about yourself, even if you don’t want to hear it.
Relationships that may be more challenging are still a gift because they provide you ample opportunity to grow and learn more about how you react and respond to the people around us. Although they may not always be welcome, try to appreciate the gift of challenging relationships.
You need both the “good” and the “bad” ones to become the best and fullest expression of yourself.
If you’re very wise, you will take some time to evaluate and understand what lessons you need to learn in all of your relationships. When you understand the deeper reasons why you do what you do, you’ll find that your relationships start to get better and better.

People often ask me how they can love themselves as though it’s a strange thing or difficult to do. It’s really not difficult at all, 
and there are several ways you can be good to you.
One of the easiest ways is to take time to get to know yourself. What do you like? What’s really important to you? If you had an entire day free from any responsibilities, what would you most like to do?
Spend some time making a list. Maybe you would really like to read a good book or spend time with friends. Would you want to be indoors or outdoors? Taking a nap or going for a hike?
It can often be surprising to discover that what you thought you needed, isn’t really what you needed at all.
When you become in tune with the core of who you are, it’s easier to come from a place of love, which means it will be easier to love other people. And when you love people easily, it’s easier to be loved in return.
It’s a cycle of love! So appreciate and love yourself and watch what happens.

Money, money, money. Why all the fuss about money? 
Money is just energy. When you understand that, it will be easier for you to understand why it shows up (or doesn’t show up) the way it does.
Imagine yourself holding a dollar bill. It’s really just a piece of paper but what feelings come up for you as you imagine that dollar in your hand? What specific words were you thinking? Security, power, fun, good, bad?
What you think and believe about money is the energy you are transmitting to the Universe about money and specifically about yours.
The Law of Attraction tells us that the vibrational frequency you send out is what you will get back. If you have a scarcity mindset, the Universe will be in alignment with your beliefs and money will be hard to come by.
On the other hand, if you believe that there is an abundance of money and have faith that the Universe will provide what you need, you’ll start to see money showing up quickly, often in the most random ways!
Your experience about money is a direct result of what you believe about it. Change your beliefs and you’ll change your money situation.

Did I get your attention? This is really important!
One of the biggest ways you can steal from yourself is by not taking time out for self-care. Ignoring what your mind, body and spirit need, you can rob yourself of everything from essential nutrients to quiet time, and just like anything else that needs maintenance in life to perform, you are no different.
It’s easy in your busy world and especially in your desire or dedication to do what you feel you must, that you forget that you must be dedicated to taking care of you.
I have to tell you, I’ve been guilty of this myself, pushing myself to get done everything I want to get done. That’s when my body revolts by giving me indicators that I’ve gone too far.
Each part of you, the physical, mental and emotional, needs to recharge frequently and consistently in order to keep going.
Take some time today to listen to what you need. It may be exercise or a massage for your body. Maybe you need to read a good book or watch a thought provoking documentary. Perhaps meditation or social time with friends should be on the agenda.
Whatever it is, don’t push yourself too hard and think that at some point, your Highest You won’t push back. Spend some time on you today.

We often hear about the power of nature when images of strong winds tossing cars through the air show up on TV or a bad winter storm knocks out power lines. It reminds us that Nature will do its own thing and is a mighty force.
There’s another way to look at the “power” of nature, however, and that is its ability to help us connect with Source and our heart space, which is the center of our power.
Have you ever experienced feeling slightly down or sometimes, even just “off” a little and then you go outside and stand in the sun for a few minutes and suddenly, all is right with the world again? Or how about deciding to play in the rain or sitting quietly in the woods with nothing to hear but the sounds of a gentle breeze ruffling the leaves and birds calling to each other?
There is a power in nature that is healing and if you let it, can provide a positive shift in your energy. You have to take the time to be in the moment with nature, however. Why not try a little of that this week?
