As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have found it increasingly important to send a message of kindness and self acceptance out into the world. Nearly everyone struggles with self acceptance at one point or another in their lives and this is why this store is so near to my heart. It is a reminder that we are human and as such, we are worthy of self compassion, self acceptance, and kindness from others. We are allowed to make mistakes and grow as people and we are allowed to nurture our inner core. By doing so, we are adding flavor and meaning to our lives and creating healthier communities. Core Anthology is a collection of works that seeks to share this message and promote healthier thinking, self expression, and self compassion.
