Hey, beautiful.
I’d bet you’re looking for love in all the wrong places… which is anywhere outside of you. I know, because I’ve done it, too. I see you.
No one ever taught you to look inward. No one told you that you are the love of your life. They told you love comes from some foreign place, from some perfect partner, some grand romantic gesture. The truth is, you don’t have to chase love. It’s been inside you all along, just waiting for you to notice.
So let me tell you something: You’re already whole. You’re already worthy. You’re already enough. Now, it’s time to show up for yourself.
A little romance goes a long way.
What if you become your biggest supporter? What if you stop waiting for someone else to give you the attention you deserve and give it to yourself? How would that feel?
It starts with the little things.
You could turn on your favorite music, and dance. Close your eyes. Feel the rhythm in your body, the swaying of your hips, the energy in your heart. Don’t worry, nobody’s watching. This is your time. This is your flow.
You could run yourself a warm scented bubble bath. Light a candle, or dim the lights, and sink into the stillness. Embraced by the water, whisper sweet and sexy words to yourself, like a lover would. Remind yourself of all the things that make you incredible, because there are many.
You could take yourself out for coffee. Order the good specialty stuff. Savor it, just because you can. Be all there with yourself. After all, you’re the best company you’ll ever keep.
You could create a badass romance-filled personal space that you never have to ‘get away’ from. You deserve to be surrounded by beautiful things. Get yourself some soft satiny fabrics, inspiring art, and colors that turn you on. Make your environment a reflection of your high worth, a sanctuary that celebrates the divine feminine in you.
And this is a must: flirt with yourself. Catch your own eye in the mirror and say, “Damn, I look good.” Because you do.
You see, you were the catalyst for this artwork.
This is the energy I poured into “A Rose for a Rose”. When I created this piece, I imagined you, the woman who longs for romance but knows, deep down, it starts within.
To me, this floral abstract is the essence of femininity: soft, passionate, and powerful. When I look at it, I picture a rustic, but cozy, cabin. It’s evening, and a fire dancing in the fireplace gives off a brilliant warmth. A glass of the finest Sangria awaits, chilled to perfection. The whole mood gets the ‘juices’ flowing.
You can tell this isn’t an ordinary painting. It’s a reminder. A reminder that you are love, that you are beauty, that you are enough just as you are.
You Are Worth the Romance, Queen.
You don’t need permission to love yourself fiercely. You definitely don’t need to wait for someone else to show up with roses. You already have everything you need to feel cherished, adored, and seen.
So romance yourself. Be your own soul mate. Dance, bathe, laugh, flirt. Fall in love with the woman in the mirror. And if A Rose for a Rose feels like it belongs in your life, it’ll be a symbol of this moment, this journey back to you.
Because the love you give yourself today fuels the fire you want in your tomorrow.
With all my love,
Jonesy
