There is no pain like rejection by someone you love.

It cuts at who we are. . .

slices and leaves us bleeding.

Have  I tended to my wounds?

I will treat myself gently.

Dear Moms,

Please do spend some time getting to know yourself. Always remember – never take rejection personally. (The Four Agreements) If you are bleeding from rejection, the loss of a relationship or even the death of a spouse, I encourage you to try one or two of these suggestions:

• Make an appointment for yourself to take a walk.
• Give yourself a manicure.
• Prepare a meal of your favorite foods, set the table, and serve yourself with candlelight.
• Set an empty chair across from you and have a conversation with “yourself.”
• Take a personality profile.
• Play your favorite CD and sing along.
• Do something you’ve dreamed of doing, but never done before.
