**Self Love — Coming Home to Yourself**
Something happened to me this week that I want to share with you — because it is exactly what self-love looks like in real life.
For quite a while, I had been feeling that my book's title wasn't quite right. Something in it didn't fully land. And yet every time I tried to untangle it, I couldn't force it into clarity. So I stayed with it — open, patient, not knowing what the stillness was holding.
Then one morning, I awoke knowing I needed to add a chapter to the book. And through that process, through speaking about it with others and working together as a team, something came through that I hadn't been able to find alone.
The true name of this book arrived.
**Your Loving Power: Heal Yourself, Heal the Earth.**
I didn't force it. I didn't figure it out. It came through staying open and trusting that what needed to come would come when it was ready. That, to me, is self-love in one of its most profound forms. The quiet kind. The kind that trusts.
And here is something I want to say clearly, because it matters: self-love does not mean we love others less. Quite the opposite. When we love ourselves more fully, we have more to bring to everyone around us. We give from fullness rather than depletion. We love from strength rather than need. This is what I have come to know as our Loving Power — and it begins within each of us.
It only requires willingness. The willingness to be with yourself — as you are, right now — with a little more kindness than yesterday.
I invite you to sit with this question this week:
*Is there one small way I could turn toward myself with more gentleness today?*
Read the full blog at dianevictor.com — and if you feel called to explore this together, join me this Wednesday, May 13th for my Monthly Wisdom-in-Wellness call, 6:00 to 7:30 pm PST via Zoom. These first two sessions are my gift to you, offered freely. Come with an open heart and a willingness to turn inward. That is the only invitation needed.
