Self-Love & Self-Worth

by Sabine Brosche/ Meet the most important person in your life: You.You are the one you will spend your life with - starting on day one until you pass. Other people fade in and out of your existence but you remain - no matter where you go or what you do.

Me, my Inner Critic & I

by Sabine BroscheI have many different voices inside. I suppose it is my mind talking. One of those voices is harsh, critical and mean.

The Guest HouseThis being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor.Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight.The dark thought, the shame, the malice.meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.Be grateful for whatever comes.because each has been sentas a guide from beyond.— Jellaludin Rumi,translation by Coleman Barks
