Love Is Enough

love immersion

How do we immerse ourselves in a loving attitude?

I try to do it by getting up each and every day and making a concentrated effort to be more loving to myself and others. The hope is I will start my day off each day on a positive note. If I can do that, hopefully I will be able to handle whatever the day throws at me, and I will be able to do so in a calm and loving manner.

However, like I've said repeatedly, I'm still a Student of Love who needs constant and consistent practice, so it's not easy and I'm no Mother Teresa. I am, hopefully, someone who is growing beyond the limitations of ego enough that I have more loving moments each day than I used to have.

practice makes perfect...even in love

"Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it." Richard Bach

As I've said before, I'm not able to express love easily and that has really begun to trouble me, which is why I started this blog to begin with. I have come to realize that just because something doesn't come naturally to me, doesn't mean I can't learn it and it certainly doesn't mean I won't eventually master it.

LOVE is no different from any other activity or aspect I choose or desire to include in my life -- if I want to be excel at it, I have to practice it. DAILY.

how do we make sense...?

How do we make sense of the senseless Aurora tragedy? With stories like these, which focus on the best of us -- people who respond quickly, putting others' lives before their own -- their phenomenal courage and love an inspiration to all. These are true heroes.

if you laugh...

"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."  Jim Valvano

dogs are...

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.” ― Milan Kundera
