Your welcome 
Scott Cunningham Wicca for the solitary practitioner is a good basic book, he's nontraditional and has some really good prayers and info. its important to put what your learning to use or you will still feel empty (for lack of better words)
Knowing what your doing in spell work is important, but remember, spells are prayers with added energy.
Just like the old saying, be careful what you wish for, its the same, you can do prayers with what you know, you don't have to do formal circle, calling of quarters and everything else to help yourself, one simple self love prayer (spell) is taking a pink candle, draw yourself a bath with about 1/2 cup sea salt (table salt will work) throw in some lavender, rosemary and pink rose peddles, get in the tub, ask for Divine guidance to be there with you, lite your candle, relax and visualize the universal life force energy of pure love radiating from that candle, watch the flame and let yourself see with your minds eye what every it is that you need to see in that flame, let yourself feel the arms of the Divine comfort you, know that you are safe & loved, you are a child of the Gods, let that little girl surface and tell her its ok, that she is now safe in the armes of her Divine Mother & Father, let her know that no one can hurt her, that she is free to play & love & be loved unconditionally, cry if you need to, know is your soul that she is that innocent, loving, trusting, playful little girl that you lost somewhere in life's lessons.
When your done, open the drain & sit in there while the water runs out, see all the dark, negative energy going down the drain, know that Mother Earth will take care of it, its no longer your to carry, rinse off what every might still be on you and feel the love that radiates from inside you. Make sure you write down what you felt & seen.
Another daily confirmation, is when you first wake up, state your blessing, even if you dont feel blessed, find something, anything,even if its just you were able to get out of bed, lol, been there! do this every day, when you look in the mirror, tell yourself how beautiful & special that you are, keep saying it until you believe it.
Last thing, there's a unity prayer that I slightly modified for my own use,
The Light of the Goddess surrounds me
The Love of the Goddess enfolds me
The Power of the Goddess protects me and
The Wisdom of the Goddess guides me
Wherever I am, Goddess is
And all is well
So mote it be!
Stay safe and warm in the Goddesses arms,
Bright Blessings in Love & Light,
