Just my love...

A while back I watched a new series, A Side Order of Life, because the title was so intriguing. In it the main character's best friend announced that her cancer had returned, and that it had gone into her brain. After a party celebrating her life (rather than waiting for a funeral) she said through tears, "All I ever wanted out of life was... everything." Right before that tender moment there was
a song being sung, "I'm feeling my way through the dark."

At the risk of being corny, I'm going to share my heart with you and I hope that's okay. It might not sound like relationship advice, but trust me, it is...

Inspired by those two thought-provoking lines from the friend and then the song, I challenge you to really look at your life. Are you living with gusto? Are you saying "yes" to life? Are you loving as if there was no tomorrow? Or are you holding back, hanging on to anger or resentment, settling, unable to speak up and ask for what you want, unable to forgive or waiting for the "right time"?

I believe, deep inside every cell of my being, that we are on this planet to learn how to love and be loved more fully. Even if what you're focusing on right now is to be successful in your work and earn more money, to do so requires that you love yourself. Yes, don't argue with me because it's true. You must love yourself in order to believe in yourself and you must believe in yourself to
accomplish any goal.

If you have a partner that you love and who loves you, let go of anything and everything that keeps you from opening your heart completely. If opening your heart is not a safe thing to do, then I ask you, "Why are you with this person?" If you're single and looking for that special person to love get out there with the
intention of allowing your heart to reach out to the next man you meet. You'll know if he's someone you should get to know better, or someone you should simply acknowledge as a fellow traveler, on the same quest for love.

I have recently had a lightning bolt realization that my work is to show people how to turn on the power of their hearts. If you turn on your heart and open to the love that is yours to create, you won't have to "feel your way through the dark." Your heart will be a beacon, shining it's light on all the places that offer more experiences of love. Romantic love, friend love, family love, even moments of love shared between strangers. Most important is that when you allow your heart to guide you, your self-love will keep you connected to your intuition-your deep wisdom-so that you make wise choices in what you do and who you spend your precious time with. Fear is what gets us off track and fear is simply an absence of love.

I have probably been rambling but I needed to share with you that you can count on me to offer my insights in order to help you turn on the power of your heart. Look for heart turn-ons this week. Notice when your spirit gets tickled. Smile at strangers. Do a good deed for someone and don't tell anyone. Tell everyone you love how you feel. Be grateful, out loud, for all your blessings. And even life's most challenging lessons are blessings.

Again, I quote, "All I wanted out of life was... everything." It's your life, live it
fully.

With a heart overflowing with love,
