(Cringe-worthy) Love Notes

I've been trying to be more direct in what I'm asking for in many areas of my life (no small feat, I might add!). You may have noticed me asking you to shop my studio last week to support my small business. My asking paid off! So many of you are taking home originals or goodies to share with your loved ones. Guess what? I'm still asking you to shop my winter markdowns and take advantage of these deals!

But, I've got another ask and this one is more of an attempt to build community. A few weeks back we talked about the favorite people in our lives. I was not shy about saying that we should all consider our own selves in at least the top 3. Some of you said, “hey Amy, I'm kinda far from that!" So, let's start with something approachable and actionable, especially as we close in on ol’ Valentine's.

Here’s what I want you to do: write down one thing you love about yourself. Start with “I love you when…” "I love your..." or “I love how…” and post it on social media. Tag me, so that we can all see each other's love notes. Does that sound hard or cringey? I know…it’s okay. If that feels too much right now, just write down “I love you.” You'll know who you mean.

The love note above is an example from my partner. In our home, we’ve both been telling ourselves, “I love you” more and I’m noticing how much more I am softening towards myself, being kinder to myself, rather than my normal harsh criticisms invading my mind. It’s been a game changer!

You'll see my own love note on insta by Friday. Promise. Where can I find yours?

Love ya-
