A professor is entreated by a dying colleague to take custody of the colleague’s five-year old son, raise him to adulthood, and at that time pass on a chest to him. The professor does so, and when the child reaches adulthood and the chest is revealed, it leads them on an adventure to Africa. There they encounter a young queen of a lost race who says she’s over two thousand years old, with an equally startling claim about the young man.

Self-love is showing up for yourself when others do not. Self-love is doing what makes you smile. Self-love is defining who YOU are and not allowing others to do it. Self-love is not comparing yourself to others. Self-love is trusting yourself. Self-love is using your VOICE to advocate for yourself. Self-love is accepting YOURSELF. Self-love is knowing your WORTH. “Self Discovery allows you to Fall in Love with Yourself” Remember, you are in control of how you show up in the world. I hope you choose to be big and not shrink for the comfort of others.Give yourself permission to take up space and bloom wildly without regret. Self-love isn’t about being self-centered and selfish. It is not about a “ME” mentality, and it’s certainly not about fighting against the world to express ourselves or to get what we want. Self-love is about loving ourselves for who we are and taking the time to care for ourselves. Self Love is about owning our own power. Acting from a place of kindness toward ourselves and taking the time to remind ourselves of the power of kindness. Self Love is essential to living a happy and healthy life. ❤️🕊️
