This year, I want to open up about my journey and growth. After the whirlwind success of Blk Sunflower, I took a much-needed mental health break in 2023 to find myself. I'll be sharing more about this, because I want you to know you're not alone.

Your support has meant the world to me. Your messages, sharing how I've inspired you, kept me going. I want these emails to be more than just sales updates. I want to inspire and help you through tough times.

Valentine's Day is a month away, but let's start shifting the focus now. Regardless of your relationship status, let's celebrate the most important relationship we have – the one with ourselves. I want to talk about the transformative power of self-love and mental health.

Times are tough, and we could all use a little more love. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just about romantic love. It's the perfect time to turn inward and give ourselves some love. Embracing self-love can lead to a more fulfilling life, bringing a sense of completeness and contentment beyond external validation.

Here are some journaling prompts to help you on the road to self-love:

1.What does self-love look like to me, and how can I make it a daily thing?
2.List your strengths and achievements, no matter how small.
3.How can you be kinder to yourself when life gets rough?
4.What boundaries can you set to keep relationships healthy and balanced?
5.Reflect on your values. How can you live a more authentic life that aligns with the real you?

This Valentine's Day, let's rewrite the script. Embracing self-love isn't selfish; it's a journey toward a fulfilling life. Journaling can be your companion on this adventure, offering insights into well-being, confidence, healthier relationships, resilience, and authenticity. May this 2024 be a celebration of the love that starts within – a love that leads to a life filled with purpose, joy, and contentment.
