12 Steps to Loving You

Have you ever wondered who you really are and what are you here to do and why? Is there any sense in all of this? Well I did, and I was only a teenager at the time.It was a warm sunny day, as I lazily pushed my toes through the white soft sand on the beach. I remember sitting there pondering the meaning of life. I had many questions drifting in and out of my thoughts and I wanted to know some answers to some very grown up questions. Questions like - what is my life's purpose; what should I be doing while here on earth; is God hearing me; who is this God they speak of, and more importantly, who are these 'they' we speak so much of? I mean, if I am here for a reason then I might as well get down to it and find out what this reason is and then live it to the best of my abilities.As I sat there taking in the sights and sounds of people playing in the waves, seagulls flying overhead and the humdrum of the traffic in the distance, a small voice inside of me said that I should look at the mountain and say what I saw. My answer was simple. 'I see Table Mountain and the 12 Apostles'. 'That's right', said this still small whisper within my heart, 'What I want you to do is to let people know they are loved - show them how to love themselves in 12 simple steps'. 'Sure', I replied. 'I can do that'.That seems like eons ago and now I am doing just that.This book will help bring you back to the center of who you are.
