First, let’s review: We all know The Golden Rule— “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” It’s attributed to Jesus during the sermon on the Mount, but the sentiment goes back thousands of years in many different cultures. We all know it and we all (try to) practice it in some form or another. Maybe. It depends on what kind of day we’re having or if the “others” are being jerks or if we even remember to. But one thing is true—I think—regardless of who the “others” are, we are probably treating them better than we treat ourselves.
Great advice, Cindy. Although, I must say that I was taken aback at discovering Rule of Three reflected in the Wiccan advice you shared - does this mean I must be burned at the stake?
So true. We are our own worst critics as they say. If we do not practice self love, we cannot really give love to others completely. Can't give what you don't have! We all need to cut ourselves some slack.
I’m older than you, so I’ve finally got the hang of saying “Silly sausage” when I make a mistake. It’s what my mother used to say and has no sting to it, but is better than option 2 - swearing…

This was so well said and a good reminder to love ourselves too.
Amen, sister. Thanks for this reminder!

A beautiful and true lesson. Sharing!
