Image by Duckleap Free Resources from Pixabay How to value yourself as a woman is a thought we all face in a world that mostly drains and destroys. “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s a verse I’ve known since childhood, growing up in a Christian home. I memorized it easily, as many children do—but somewhere along the way, I put all my energy into the second part: loving others, while quietly ignoring the first: loving myself.
