Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.

What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere, looking like anyone. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.

I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.

Every day we can choose to wake up and see the gift of getting to be who we are. When we decide to live from this way of ‘being’, it becomes easy to see this same light and gift in everyone — even those who may not yet see it in themselves.

The benefits of self-love are many. What I know to be true without a doubt in my heart, is that we are all capable of giving this gift to ourselves.

These words and short poem I wrote, help me remember why embracing my essence is always the best thing to do. Perhaps this may resonate with where you are.
