To Me I Wed
This is a sacred vow to yourself. A commitment to you...to your well being, your pleasure, your love, your dreams. A commit from you, to you, for you.
When it feels right for you, I invite you to read it out loud to yourself. Standing in front of a mirror can be powerful. Or reading to yourself in a space that just means the world to you. Take the time and allow the words to sink in. Feel the power of the most important relationship you will ever have... the one with yourself!
I,_______________________, commit wholeheartedly to myself and to the vibrant expression of my life. I know I am on this planet for big, wonderful things. Amazing things! And I commit to experiencing that purpose.
And with this commitment, I promise to be wonderful to myself. I commit to loving myself. Gently. Wildly. Perfectly. I vow to listen to myself...to acknowledge the yearnings of my body, mind, heart and soul. To allow myself to be shallow and frivolous. To be connected and deep. I will love the pieces of me that make up my whole. I will play with my inner child...channel my inner wise one...allow the inner creative being to run free.
I commit to forgiving myself. Easily. I will love myself through any challenges that come forward. I promise to be honest with myself. I promise to be present with my thoughts and feelings. I commit to seeking assistance when necessary. I know I do not have or want to do it all by myself.
I commit to having fun. To showering myself in delight. To taking excellent care of myself and allowing myself to be taken care of. I commit to receiving all of the gifts life has waiting for me. I commit to indulging in that which inspires me...in that which pleases me...in that which I love.
I honor my body and hold it sacred. I pledge to be a student of its workings.
I honor my heart and it’s strength. I pledge to allow it to love freely.
I honor my mind and its creativity. I pledge to receive it’s wisdom and not to take it all so seriously.
I honor my spirit and it’s connectedness to all that is. I pledge to know and listen deeply.
I commit to my dreams and desires. I commit to creating a life that I love. I commit to taking marvelous action steps of all kinds so that I may live a life that is truly inspired and inspiring. I will trust myself. I value my word and honor my choices. I commit to looking at myself clearly and admitting when it is time to make a change...and doing so without judgement or any other negative bullcrap.
I commit to flexibility. Creativity. Romance. Enthusiasm. Writing. Reading. Traveling. Succulent fruit. Beautiful flowers. Friendships. Exploration. Adventures. Service. Wealth. Health. Learning. Giggles. Change. Magic. Surprises. Sweetness. Pleasure. And being comfortable in the great, grand, I-Don’t-Knowness of it all!
I commit, wholeheartedly to me. Myself. My life.
I make this commitment before myself and all of the universe. I make it with joy. Love. And beauty.
And so it is!

I JUST posted about this very thing on my blog today :D What I wrote wasn't quite as eloquent. Just beautiful, thank you for sharing!!!
At the age of 53 and at the end of a 30-year marriage, I bought myself a turquoise ring from a vendor sitting on the ground outside the Governor's Palace in Santa Fe. It was beautiful, symbolic and liberating. I have not taken it off since. I only wish I'd done it sooner!
