Happy Valentine’s Day! Sending out Valentines day blessings to your nearest and dearest today is what we think of, and cherish being able to do today. The spirit of heartfelt caring and sharing can be a much bigger pebble in the pond of life though. Everyone and everything can be included in some way. If you have love in your heart then, when you smile, give another a hug, open a door for someone, lend a helping hand…all these ways and more, can share in the spirit of heart sharing, reaching out, not just on valentines day, but every day.
Connecting with nature, animals, people has a deeper meaning than romantic love and reaches much, much further. Have you really looked into the eyes of a pet and seen the depth of heart that radiates there? If you have, you will have a sense of the depth of unconditional love that they radiate to us naturally.
Loving is not an easy journey at times. We have all heard of unconditional love…but it is does challenge us. Choices have to be made to love ourselves. It is a process of finding balance in how the ‘love’ we define is real and heart centred, feels in the context of what we experience in life. Then to choose to love anyway, even if you move on.
We are a work-in-progress each day. So greeting ourselves with love and appreciation is often a huge challenge. Interfacing with the world and it’s varied expressions of loving, again challenging. Not everyone sings to the same tune. So, accepting this, loving our own heart and valuing our own integrity of being, allows the seeds of unconditional love to grow. Live and let live – but one can choose to stay or go, and to do so with love and integrity within their own being. Each are, very much, to their own expression of this. Indeed, communication is the key to ride any storm. Discovering the inner recognition of integrity in the other is a pathway of communion, at any level, that can reap better understanding of self, others and provide informed choice from our own heart.
As we age, life shows us the pain of love enjoyed lost in some way. We can experience loneliness, and grief as life changes. These things change too, over time. The journey is the treasured prize, so bring the love you are to where you are in each moment, and this will change your experience of life with all its ups and downs.
Connecting with nature, our friends, animals, loved ones, strangers…and, ourselves is a lifelong adventure and a treasure trove of heartfelt gifts to ourselves and others.
So, as a dear friend has said often,
‘If you see someone coming toward you and they are not wearing a smile,
give them yours!’
Be the natural love that you are!
Blessings on your day as you share the spirit of heartfelt caring and love with all in your life. Watch the ripples in your pond of life as they travel out into your world, with a smile.
And…a huge loving heartfelt hug, full of sparkles and rainbows from my heart to yours, with deep gratitude for you being in my world, just as you are today!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
