I spent the most glorious four days in Mendocino. It was perfect. I sat on the bluffs in town overlooking the sea for an hour or more everyday. The sea was hypnotic and full of wisdom. And I fell in love with myself - again.
Closing my eyes, I can see my 8 year old self riding her bike down the hill near my house. Her hair blowing back, a smile warming her sun-freckled face and the sure unwavering belief that she is great and no one (and I mean no one!) can coast down a hill with as much grace and speed as she can.
"Hi Terre, I'd like to introduce you to the most amazing woman you will ever met. She is smart, beautiful, funny, sensual, generous, kind, creative, and she really knows how to love! Don't get me wrong, she's not perfect by any means - she is only human after all. "

Oh, you went to my/our most favorite place to be. We have spent several Christmases at Mendocino, many long summer weekends, I love it every time of year! I agree about the ocean! Love your loving yourself story!
What an inspiring post! I remember my younger self too (now that I look back) It's true that we should love ourselves first, then the rest is easy :)
Glad you had such a beautiful time!
Terry, Remember when we were kids that age and staying with your mom. She was a saint to take us all in. We had so much fun as children. Love you cousin. Judy
