Love is Uninhibited

I’ve said it before. I’m sure I’ll say it again... Children are some of our best teachers. They live in the moment and they do what they want. As well conditioned adults, it’s dangerously easy to be the constant reminder of convention and socially acceptable behavior to our free-spirited little ones. Lately I’ve been wondering about the code of conduct that I take for granted as the standard. Is it possible that I’m too conce ed with convention? Am I overlooking more important attributes of character for the sake of polite conformity?

Love is Judgement Free

Love is a beautiful thing. I can think of nothing better. It is all that is good and pure and true in this life. That’s why today’s edition of The Love Post is about something that seems to cause so much unnecessary pain and suffering. It seems that Love has been misrepresented so often. It’s time to clarify. Judgment is not Love Although I’m dedicated to focusing on what Love is, there are certain things that Love is not. Judgment is one of them. It’s become apparent to me that self-judgment stops Love in its tracks. It can fill you with fear, doubt, guilt, anger...

Love and Heartache

It hurts so bad. It can make you physically ill. It feels like it’ll never get better. Trust me. It does. It gets better. In fact, this edition of The Love Post is here to remind you that heartache is actually a demonstration of the strength and power of Love. If you didn’t Love, your heart wouldn’t ache. You wouldn’t feel like there’s a hole in your chest and there’s not enough air in the room. If you find yourself in such a state of misery (You can probably tell I’ve been there myself), take it one breath at a time. You Are Not Alone

Love Listens

Loving communication is an essential part of any healthy relationship. This includes your relationship with yourself. In fact, being able to have a successful relationship with others requires that you must first understand and honor yourself. Love Listens Before You Speak Communication happens when a message is exchanged from sender to receiver. Then the receiver sends feedback, hopefully confirming that the message was understood. They also have the opportunity to offer a a response with feedback and new information.

Looking For Love?

Looking for Love? You’re in the right place. I once heard that, “What you want wants you.” It’s an encouraging thought. Looking for Love means that you are seeking what you want to find. But there’s a catch. The Opposite of What You Want It’s dangerously easy to confuse thinking about a lack of something and thinking about the thing itself. Money’s a great example. If what you really want is more of it, it’s important to be full of gratitude for what you have. Imagine how good it feels to have plenty of it coming your way.

Love is Habit

I know, you’re probably thinking that Love is passion and intense emotion. And it is. Like everything though, it translates into daily thoughts and actions. If you want more Love in your life, you’ll want to adopt more loving habits. It's our habits that create our lives on a day to day basis on autopilot. Our brains have adopted these habits as a way of minimizing effort for repeated tasks. Once you do something enough, it becomes easy. It’s second nature. You literally don’t have to think about it. So what do you do without thinking? Is it time to change some habits?

Are you ever amazed by how hard it is to let go? Whether it’s letting go of a material item, an idea, a memory, or a relationship, attachment is quick to rear its ugly head.

Love is Limitless

There may be days where we feel completely spent. Tuckered out and ready for bed . . . way before bedtime! Days where we might be asleep before our head hits the pillow. Or perhaps we find ourselves emotionally drained or wrapped up in some material world concern. Maybe on those nights it’s actually hard to sleep. Stress can wreak havoc on our minds and bodies if we aren’t careful. Thankfully, Love remains.

Love Says "Relax!"

Sometimes I find myself more uptight tha I’d like. Does that ever happen to you? Well, the more and more I focus on Love, I hear it speaking to me more and more clearly. Usually, it seems to say something to the effect of, “Relax, Mary Anne!” Wonderfully, it is a key phrase that my husband knows to use with me when I need it too. Of course, this isn’t surprising since he is my Love! He helped me birth both our babies at home. “Relax” was a very popular word! If you think about how we act when we stray from our most Loving selves, we generally are not very relaxed.
