I think this is true in so many ways! If we don't love ourselves, respect ourselves and consider our wellbeing to be important, no one else is going to either. I also think it's important we can function independently as an "I" before we attempt to make a relationship work. Too often relationships are based on codependency rather than love and what each person can bring to the table. Great "I" for the day, Brenda! Have a great week ahead!
Oh - very clever!! That was a hard lesson to learn as a mom -- to take care of myself, so that I could fully take care of them. I like the motto for WE day though too "ME to WE" as I think it's great to teach our kids to think more globally; so that don't become wrapped up in our very luxurious world.

I completely agree - but me has to be taken care of in order to take care of we
