It's been said that time heals all wounds. While this statement often proves to be true, nothing compares to the feeling of liberation after learning the very valuable lesson of loving one's self. Almost ten years following her groundbreaking book release entitled "Get a Man, Keep a Man", Author Shei Atkins has "done it again". This book serves as yet another "must have" for anyone overcoming life's obstacles regardless of demographics.The author shares from a much more personable, yet vulnerable place in this astounding body of work. She recounts step-by-step, her journey from a tumultuous inward battle of self-searching all the way to a victorious existence of daily affirmations and self-love. We live in a society that often "masks" our true emotions and thoughts that lie deep within and it's our in-authenticity that hinders our ability to be a worthwhile asset to daily endeavors. You can't amount to much good for anyone else until you learn to simply love yourself. These are some of the very things the author challenges readers to consider while taking this literary stroll down the aisle of recovery.By covering topics such as "Using The Power Within", (speaking of the God given power that's placed on the inside of each of us) and "Being/Remaining Grateful", Shei bears her soul in this collection of pages and it is sure to not only speak to your mind, but to your heart of hearts. The hardest thing for us as a human race, is to peel back the layers of our guarded hearts. Even though it may be difficult, the author admonishes us regarding the importance of consistent prayer and "seeing yourself" out of your current state. We all have a seemingly natural ability to love and show love to others, that's the easy part. It's loving our own selves that takes the extra labor, but Shei finds healing in the fact that "the work never stops". Growing to love one's' self is a day-by-day process and if you're seeking wholeness and oneness with self, then "Loving Me" (Embracing Who You Are, Where You Are) is definitely the book for you!
