I am a huge advocate for self-love! In 2004 I had a formal Self-Engagement Ceremony, where I pledged all parts of myself would work together for the good of the whole me.
It was beautiful! I said a vow, wrote a poem for the occasion, raised toasts with champagne, ate decadent food, and gave myself self-love gifts! I celebrate the anniversary of my Self-Engagement every year, often going out for a special dinner with myself at the Keg Mansion here in Toronto.
