An entourage and Fan Club

As I walk around my house, I feel like a celebrity!! Why? Well, wherever I go, whatever room I walk into, right beside me are my wonderful four-legged friends and the shouts of ‘mama’ from my kids! We all know the amazing unconditional love that animals bestow upon us and yet, this is something different. Wherever I wander, the pitter patter of their paws make me feel like I have a bodyguard following me to ensure my safety ... o.k., it’s more likely because it’s their need but I benefit too!! I may not be a famous celebrity, but I feel like I have ‘fans’ in my home and this is an important reminder that I am important to somebody. So often in recovery, we feel insignificant and that if we disappeared, no-one would notice, and yet that thought is SO wrong! You ARE important!! You have value and bring value to those around you. Your friends love to spend time with you, you have family that love you, and ultimately the love you give yourself allows you to become your number one fan! So go on, look around you and ask yourself who you are important to? Who makes up your entourage and fan club? I DARE you to make a list and at the very top, put your name because you know what, you’re worth loving!!
