Who is Valarie?

Lover of all the things…

My “job” on this earth is to seek, observe, and shout out love

I’m not sure where this will all go. I am a misfit in many ways. I was too nerdy to be a partier, and too much of a partier to be a nerd. I’m too conservative. I’m too liberal. I’m too sensitive. I’m too brash. I’m too mouthy. I’m too wimpy. 

I mean, you can see where this is going. A lifetime of feeling like I just didn’t fit in. Anywhere.

The great thing about advancing in years is that my Give AF has waned a lot. The best thing about advancing in years, but maintain the spirit of a toddler/teenager is that my desire to have fun hasn’t waned at all. 

As a misfit, it’s been an interesting journey. So now I’m going to write about it. 

Maybe some of the lessons that have helped me will help you. 

Because the goal really is for everyone to love themselves so that we can help others love themselves. 

Let’s trip through the madness together. 

 

We’re all on a journey

I’m excited to hear about your journey. Because these are the stories that turn into the soundtrack that complements my journey. 

More than anything, I believe we have purpose. 

And that purpose is to love. 

The greatest challenge as I see it is that we have forgotten how to love ourselves. 

Did we ever really learn that? 

I believe there will be no significant changes on this rock, in our human experience, until this becomes a focus. 

If you believe, as I do, that everything happens as it’s supposed to, you know that life is a giant classroom. 

I believe if everyone could tap into their self-love, and destroy inhibitions that don’t serve them, a remarkable transformation will be felt worldwide.

I could be wrong. 

But doesn’t it sound like fun to BELIEVE? 

I am an expert at building belief you didn’t know you had.
