    How inspirational, Kalley! It’s so wonderful to hear from ladies like yourself who love themselves. I need to take some of that perspective into my own life, because there’s only one of me also and I rock! 🙂 (See, it’s working already)

    Self love is so important. Many people worry about loving and caring for others and forget to love themselves first.

    I love that she is so confident – many of us could learn from her. I believe the biggest and most important part of your personality is a sense of humor – you lose that and you are in trouble.

    It is wonderful to see someone sharing about loving themselves first even in difficult circumstances. I think we all need to remember this. We can’t love others if we don’t love ourselves.

      Even though the hard times are well hard, it’s always important to me to connect with people. We all have ups and downs, but how we handle them matters the most. Love always starts with ourselves 🙂

    Very good reasons for loving yourself–keeping a sense of humor being the most important in my opinion. If I wasn’t able to laugh at myself once in a while I’d be crying!
