In her
high school days, Sandra had an interest in the printing process.
She landed her first job at a printing press during high school,
which eventually lead to an 18 year career in the industry. Looking
for a change, she enrolled in college, taking classes in graphic
design, allowing her to see how what came to press was
created.
Sandra's interest in photography started with
watching the images develop from her dad's Polaroid camera. With a
camera of her own, Sandra found she could get lost in nature,
melding into the scenes of seagulls and flowers, even sensing
communication with them without saying a word. She'd take off in
the morning with her camera and be gone for hours. On her
website, Sandra offers
photography and graphic design services. Her photographs have been
published, in print and online, by the Hi-Desert Star, LA Yoga
Magazine, Vice.com, Palm Springs Life, Coachella Weekly,
Lulumag.com and many more.
In this
episode, Sandra talks about a trip to the desert that
brought her to healing. What was to be a four-day visit at the
desert home of friends, turned into weeks after connecting with a
printed, framed affirmation (below) displayed at her friends home.
The affirmation was from Louise Hay (who wrote 'You Can
Heal Your Life')and sent Sandra on a journey to connect with being
true to herself and loving herself. If you're looking to
really connect with who you are and tamp down the negative voices
with positive vibes, Sandra recommends self-help books, music,
podcasts and getting outside in
nature.
I Love
Myself Affirmation

Deep
at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love.
I
now
allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my
body,
my
mind, my consciousness, my very being and radiates out
from
me in
all directions and returns to me multiplied.
The
more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply
is
endless. The use of love makes me feel good, it
is an expression of
my
inner joy.
I love
myself; therefore, I take loving care of my body. I
lovingly
feed
you nourishing foods and beverages, I lovingly groom you
and
dress
you, and you lovingly responds to me with vibrant health
and
energy.
I love
myself; therefore, I provide for myself this comfortable
home,
one
that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the
rooms
with
the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included,
will
feel
this love and be nourished by it.
I love
myself; therefore I work at a job I truly
enjoy
doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working
with and for people I
love
and who love me and earning a good income.
I love
myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to
all
people
for I know that that which I give out returns to me
multiplied.
I only
attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of
who
I
am.
I love
myself; therefore I forgive and totally release the past and
all
past
experiences and I am free.
I love
myself; therefore I live totally in the
now,
experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is
bright,
joyous
and secure, for I am a beloved child of Divine Mother and
Divine
Mother
lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.
And so
it is...I love you
