To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. ~Oscar Wilde
The different relationships you make in your life reflects the relationship with yourself. Loving yourself is a prerequisite to creating a successful and authentic relationship with another.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. ~Oscar Wilde
The relationship you have with yourself is the central relationship.
The most important relationship we will ever experience is the one with yourself.
The degree to which you love yourself will determine the degree of love you extend to others. Ultimately to build a healthy, loving relationship with others depends on loving yourself first.
The most important relationship you can experience is the one you develop with yourself. Learning to love yourself may be the greatest love you ever experience and achieve.
Do you love yourself?
You cannot keep giving to others if you do not give to yourself first.
People who love themselves generally feel happier. People naturally want to pleasant and happy around them much more than the person who lacks self-love and self-esteem
Self-love occurs when you decide who you are and what you want is important to you Self-love involves deciding to connect with your dreams and then supporting yourself with encouraging thoughts and empowering self-supportive actions.
I grew up feeling worthless and lousy. I really hated myself and everything about me. My parents believed to love yourself, or to give to yourself, is a "bad" thing. They saw this as "selfish" or "self-centered" and let you knew it.
During the recovery period of getting abusive childhood memories back, I was able to start healing the relationship with myself. It felt very uncomfortable and didn’t come naturally.
I learned self love is not "selfish" or bad. When you love yourself, you feel good about yourself, and you will feel better about the world. This will make it easier for you to give love to others.
Some of the techniques my therapist and psychiatrist gave me to develop a love for myself included, affirmations, saying I love you in front of the mirror and saying I love you while hugging myself.
Embodying self love is the greatest example you can set for your children, for your loved ones, for your friends, and for all those you encounter in your life.

HI Ann–
Found your website when I was looking for information about whether or not to set up a QuanSite vs go with a wordpress website and blog. Funny how life leads you down paths you don’t know of if you open yourself to learning and growing. I have signed up for your beginning, free, membership and will review it all. In the meantime, please know that your story touched me so completely and I wish you so much success in your new endeavors.
A quick question: would you be willing to comment on which website platform to use, for someone new to online world, wanting a site for a soon to be published (self) book, another blog-info site (re healthy cooking) and another with a product for children. I’d appreciate your gut reaction/recommentation as I’m up for a small-medium tech challenge and don’t have a lot of cash to invest right now for website help.
Also, while I live in Denver, we have a connection I will share with you sometime, so perhaps I will buy you a cup of coffee one day! Nothing happens by accident, does it? You have a wonderful message, best of luck to you!!
Hi Monica,
Thanks for your kind comments. You’ll find everything I use to run this site on the Power Peeps Log Out page… I plan on setting up a Site Tools section on the sidebar.
I used Quansite for my previous business and was very happy with it. When I closed down my time management business I had no what I was going to do. I shut down everything to make a clean start. That included my Quansite.
When I finally made the decision to go in this direction, I knew I’d be setting up a member area, something not available with Quansite. Although I do miss all the automation.
WordPress is much easier to use than in the past… it’s making it easier and easier for tech challenged individuals.
Hope that helps
Looking forward to connecting with you more inside the Power Peeps Club.
