It's a whole lottaaaa self-love goin' on this Valentine's Day Weekend!

Whether you’re single or in a relationship, self-love is always the priority. Do you agree?
I’ve been pretty transparent as I’ve been on my own personal journey to divine inner union, navigating my single life, healing childhood trauma, and all of that jazz lol.

Even in my last article about my year of being single. So many women commented and messaged me asking, “How do you become okay with waiting?”

Well, I didn’t. I just decided that I was done waiting. I was done waiting for others to make me feel appreciated, loved, or happy. I was DONE waiting.

I’ve decided that if today was my last day on this Earth, I wasn’t going to spend it waiting.
I wasn’t going to spend it angry, or sad.
I wasn’t going to spend it wishing that anything was different. Wishing that I was in a relationship. Wishing that I was one of the many couples who will definitely be posting their super cute pics this weekend, with their rose petal trail hotel rooms, two dozen roses, soft candles on the bed in a shape of a heart, their bottle of champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries.
I trust the divine timing of MY life.
I trust the divine timing of MY easy, effortless, gentle, and kind LOVE.

It is mine to have.
I trust that I’ll know it when I see it, when I feel it, and I trust that I’ll be ready.
So it is.

If you do find yourself going down a downward spiral of emotions this weekend, THAT IS OKAY TOO! Let yourself feel. You deserve that. Your emotions are valid. I would encourage you to walk yourself through these emotions though. Ask yourself what it is you want? What it is you’re missing? What can you give yourself in this moment?  What can YOU do for YOU to love yourself through this?

I decided to book my own Valentine’s Day weekend, and pre-Valentine’s Day weekend for myself. Becauseeeeeeee, period lol. I really wanted plans. And that’s what I was craving. It wasn’t a partner that I missed. It was the activities. I wanted to do something to celebrate this Holiday. So, I decided to do it for myself. I decided to have my own staycation full of self-care activities and things that make me feel good. Why? Because I deserve it!!

Grab your own hotel with your own roses, lol. Take yourself out to eat. Cook yourself your favorite meal. Spend some time with you, turn off your phone. Take a nap. Write yourself a love letter. Grab a glass of wine, or cup of tea, and watch your favorite movie, in your favorite pajamas. Take a long bath. Sing your favorite song OUT LOUD. Have a little twerk session in your mirror, then pretend I'm hyping you up in the background, "Ayyyyeeeee get ittttttt sisssss!" lol

Love yourself in your love language this weekend. You deserve that.

So wait? Impatiently? Nah. It’s almost like being on a plane and preparing to land at your designated location. You can either fall asleep, enjoy the ride, and trust the pilot. Or you can be anxious and frantic, looking out the window, and overwhelming yourself with negative thoughts. Ima choose peace and trust that it’s nothing else for me to do but to sit and enjoy the scenery, the ride, THE JOURNEY.

So, no, I won’t wish that anything was different, because I know WHEN that time comes – it’ll be just what I need. It’ll be just what I prayed for. It’ll be perfect for me.

And THAT’S exciting.
That gives me comfort today.

Knowing that whenever it happens, it’ll be perfect for me. And anything outside of that timeline isn’t MY right timing. And babyyyyy, I’ve done it wrong before lol so I only want what’s right. You get meeeee!?

Sending you all my love this weekend,
Xo,
Ry
