Loving on Me

Loving on Me is global empowerment movement that inspires and motivates women to be who they were created to be. The movement also founded Loving on Me Day, celebrated each year on Feb. 13.

About Loving on Me

Founded in 2012 by social responsibility pioneer Katrina McGhee, Loving on Me has a dual mission to both inspire individuals and ignite them into action. The movement makes inspiration a part of everyday life through a robust website and social media community complete with blog posts contributed by guest bloggers, “Motivational Moment” videos and frequent inspirational posts. Its retail business provides products that inspire, while its Love in Action philanthropy arm ignites action by supporting global charities through financial contributions and volunteerism.

About Loving on Me Day

On February 13, Loving on Me observes its annual Loving on Me Day, a celebration that raises awareness on the important and powerful principle that self-love is the key to a successful life. The day before Valentine’s Day was selected for Loving on Me Day because of the idea that before people can love others, they must first love themselves.

In 2015, Loving on Me challenged women around the world to share positive statements of love and affirmation on Loving on Me Day by asking the question, “How Do YOU define YOU?” Through social media posts, Loving on Me encouraged women to declare, share and believe in their hopes, dreams and possibilities by posting pictures of themselves with the persuasive statement “I am…” followed by a word or phrase to best describes themselves.

History

Founder Katrina McGhee recognized the need to redefine herself when, in 2012, an unexpected crisis caused her to abruptly leave her dream job.

As she raced to find out what she should do, she realized, through God’s grace, that she needed to find out what she should be. That led to a radical evolution in her thinking. She realized that value and worth are not determined by the good things people do, but from being the person each individual is created to be.

That is why she founded Loving on Me, a global movement that encourages women to stand up and boldly become the women they were created to be and see their world explode with possibilities.
