Healing!!!! And!!! Self love!!!!! Can’t!!! Be!!! Done!!!! In!!!! Isolation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book found its way to me and changed me for the better.
2023 Re-read: Here’s to love in action for 2023 <3
2024 Re-read: I think last year, I finally actualised and embraced that healing and self love can’t be done in isolation. I’m so grateful for having a small circle of dear friends to grow with and continue to live life with. And to be loving and living comfortably in solitude as well.
To more love and light this year throughout it all!
