111 Affirmations To Help You Heal

A WALK IN MY STILETTOS

Affirmations (meaning a statement said with confidence about a perceived truth) have helped thousands of people make significant changes in their lives.
To “affirm” something, by dictionary definition, means that you are declaring it to be true. So when you affirm that you are fit when you are not, wealthy when you are financially struggling, or loved when you are lonely, you are holding a vision for what you know CAN be true.

In the pages of this book she shares “111 affirmations to help you heal” that made a difference in her life. When we hold a high regard for ourselves and display self-love we set the tone for how we are treated by others. Up your level of living TODAY!
