About 20 minutes into the ceremony, while the clouds were still in the sky pouring rain, two rainbows appeared, one above another.

      *HEALTHY* self-love is important. There are degrees of self-love, and if you're too busy loving yourself too much it could morph into self-absorption, self-centeredness, selfishness and a tendency to not consider how your words and actions affect others.
      A healthy degree of self-love is very important, as is empathy for others, compassion, altruism, compassion and kindness.

      This means that there are clear signs about a person which show up in different ways eg: A person may himself/ herself say something not nice about him or herself, maybe as a joke ( believe them for they know themselves) or they REPEATEDLY do bad, strange awful things, know that seldom do ppl change for the better and chances are this behaviour will get worse with time and one day in the future cause harm and may even be disastrous. So believe them in the beginning🤔

    I really loved it when she said "Courage is the most important virtue of all because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently". This really resonated with me because we often hold back ourselves from the life we are meant to have because we are just too scared or not courageous enough to take step we need now. Thank you for these videos and your channel.

    That empty chair reminds me of my sister Mary, the most beautiful, warm, giving sister i was blessed to have had. When we had our first family luncheon, my sister Elsie set out an empty chair for her, I can actually cry when I write this, I miss her so. I was blessed to have her in my life for six weeks before she passed, I had surgery and was home for six weeks, as soon as I was able, we saw each other every day. Went back to work on Monday, after the six weeks, she passed Tuesday. THAT WAS A BLESSING I was able to enjoy my sister everyday for 6 weeks.
