Book excerpt: This is a labor of love; it is my love letter to the world. Its message of positive perspective, how to love yourself and increase self-esteem is primarily intended for the LGBTQI, BIID, and Polyamory communities, but it is also quite useful for absolutely anyone who wishes to have a more realized sense of self-identity. I hold two Bachelors Degrees, one in Psychology and the other in Business Management; I am an affectional orientated lesbian as well. After having been through religious oppression, extreme abuse and even homelessness, I have managed to thrive and I offer this book as my definitive statement on how and why we need to accept all peoples in this vast, diverse world if we truly wish to learn to love ourselves. Most books on these types of subjects don't address the philosophical and psychological mind-set needed to self-identify with authenticity. I also wanted to show the reader how to feel great about her or himself even in the worst of situations. This book fills that need.
