Lesley Epperson, a lifelong writer of stories and songs, has ventured into non-fiction with A Pocket Guide to Self-Love - Simple Steps to Love Yourself More. Her personal journey is documented in the introduction and in the descriptions at the start of each of the twelve chapters.

Chapters include processes that are simple to understand. While some of the twenty processes emphasize healing parts of yourself using self-reflection and journaling, others are brief and help build and expand the love you feel for you with ease.

It is a book you can read and re-read, refer back to, and integrate into your daily life. Lesley Epperson has drawn on her own experiences with psychotherapy, creative visualization, deep meditation, and ideas she modified to focus on self-love.

She has done the processes, and presents them in the order she would have completed them, had she had A Pocket Guide to Self-Love as a reference. This little book also includes affirmations for daily use and additional resources for a deeper understanding when the reader is ready to explore more detailed information on the subject of self-love.

This book is for you if you want to know more about self-love, but. .
