In this day and age, sometimes we forget to "stop and smell the roses". Thus, a personal social experiment begins...little tokens of love, to me...from me...because if/when you don't put yourself first with the right amount of love, how can one ever give themselves fully and their love to others? Welcome to love me "do's" - a journey and exploration into loving one self completely and living life to the fullest...every single day.

Love Token 109: Children Book Lessons
This one is an oldy but a goody.
So many truths in stories from long ago.
Via ordinary courage
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real, you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real, you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
