Self-love is underrated.

Everybody looks at themselves and finds all sorts of reasons not to love what they see or they wait for someone else to give them permission to love themselves. You have to stop waiting and start doing and that takes some work. Self-love is not something that just happens – it’s a creative process where you dig deep to find your own soul. You have to let go of comparisons which make you feel less than and you have to see your supposed flaws as your gifts.

As a woman of color, you think you are at the bottom of the pile but your position is unique and your differences are not your weakness, they are your strength. Once you own that, you can be unstoppable.

Self-love is a journey that starts with forgiveness and acceptance of what is. Then it moves on to starting your own revolution of love. It’s a soulful revolution where you stop judging yourself and start celebrating yourself instead.

You learn to question everything you have always believed about yourself – you wake up! You become conscious and above all, self-aware.

You learn what is important to you. You decide what kind of behavior you are not prepared to accept, from yourself or from others, which leads to setting appropriate boundaries. Then you discover that loving yourself is non-negotiable and not stepping into your identity and your power is unacceptable. You have no right to hide and to play it safe, even though it’s more comfortable.

And then you discover that loving yourself is hard and takes courage and commitment but you are blessed with the creative genius to shape your own world if you would just reach out and grab it with both hands.

About the Author

My first dance with self-love as an adult began when I was able to step outside my comfort zone. When ambition meets freedom, and consciousness makes love to revolution, magic begins. I was brought here by my love for personal development, creativity, entrepreneurship and a purpose for elevating women and women of colour. With a background in social work, my life's mission has always been to help others find their inner most creative self through self-love. Thank you for having me in your space, it was a slice. With Love, Adeline xoxo

Awesome book. Well written with practical and useful examples and tips. I loved the way how Ms Bird shared so much in a short book without you feeling short changed or that parts were not properly explored. The content of this book really spoke to life as a woman not just women of color. I know it highlighted alot of experiences in my personal life and it gave a lot of guidance to navigating through them in order to love myself more and have a meaningful life. Thank you Ms Bird.

At first I wasn't sure I'd get much from this book as I could not relate to some of her experiences but I decided to keep an open mind. I'm SOOOO glad I did. The workbook sections challenged me emotionally and mentally. We, me and the author, unearthed feelings and memories I had suppressed that even therapy did not expose. I wrote quite a bit. If you are going to read this book, please do yourself a favor and participate in the exercises. That's where the magic happens.

Cheers to self-love! I now have some gems and tools to use to take better care of myself.

Thank you Adeline. I plan to begin listening to your podcasts.

I think going through some of these questions in the workbook section really helped me. It was a bit painful to look back and realize my own mistakes with not forgiving. I realized I was hanging onto so much pain that caused so much resentment. I do have an issue with this quote though : Maybe your parents were abusive, your partner cheated on you, your sibling swindled you out of your inheritance, your friend betrayed you, you were treated like dirt because you happened to be black – it’s all relative. That’s not to say the experiences weren’t horrible and indefensible, they were, but they happened. Life isn’t fair and we have to accept that." I feel very uneasy having Black thrown in there as an oh well life isn't fair sort of thkng. I cannot personally forgive those who treat me less thg an because I'm Black. The world shouldn't be this way and we shouldn't accept that either. I hope I'm not reading too much into that quote though.

For someone like me that never honestly loved myself or cared about everyone else except myself, this book was extremely helpful and motivating. I found myself talking to the author in the book while reading 😆 Give it a try whether you are struggling like I was or already know about self love. There’s definitely something to learn in here for everyone, especially women of color!

This book was so good! The exercises really helped me unpack my feelings, my fears and what’s holding me back. I love the fact that she says self-love is going to take time. It will not happen overnight. If you’ve struggled with loving and forgiving yourself then you owe it to yourself to read this book, take it seriously and answer the questions. You will be amazed at what you discover.
