The other day, a woman left a comment to my video. She wrote, “Maybe don't wear a hood trimmed with dog fur if you want people to see you having any compassion at all.” Oof.

This loving and embracing ourselves path, should you choose that path - or journey, or practice, whatever you want to call it - is not about getting there. It's about choosing to be loving toward ourselves, in our thoughts, in our words, our actions, in this moment now, and then the next moment, and then the next as best we can.

It can be tricky to believe in yourself and what you want to bring to the world, especially when doubt and worry come creeping in. Tricky, but always possible.
