Let's Talk About Love....

Well, since we are living in the age of Aquarius and Valentines Day is fast approaching... I think it is time to dust off my keyboard and talk about love.  There are many versions of love to speak about, there is love between a parent and child, that is to me, the most genuine love that can ever be imagined.  Not only do I experience this love with my sons, I still connect to the love of my mom who presence and thoughts can still be heard even with her passing.

There is love felt with your partner.  This love must go deeper than the "swoon" love we feel in the beginning.  Because in order to have that "happily ever after" you need to be willing to accept each other's good and bad traits and be willing to love and forgive each other... over and over and over again.  This can only be accomplished when you take responsibility for your own happiness, then share your life and love with your partner.

There is family and extended family love.  These are also "partners" in your lifetime that you need to nuture and respect.

And then there is love shared with your friends.   There is many kinds of "friend" love.  There is the "sisterhood" or "brotherhood" kind of love where times passes and yet you instantly connect back with that person  and nothing changes.  You are always genuine with your thoughts and feelings, and time spent together fills you with renewed light.

There is the kind of "friend" love that passes you each day, that kind of friend you see often, at work, at social events etc... and it is a joy to be in their presence even if it is nothing more than a friendly smile and a few words exchanged.

There is love and gratitude we should feel every day as we wake up and go out into the world, appreciating nature, experiences, everything that crosses our pathes.

And then... there is "tough love".  These are our moments when we have to look at partners and friendships and decide whether we should continue to keep them in our lives.  Usually this kind of path is for our personal growth, sometimes we keep these connections and sometimes we have to let them go.

But at the end of the day, when we choose to live with positive energy, light and love we will be guided into a great, big, beautiful life.  Love to all... and ENJOY!

A Very Special Birthday Memory

A special message to my guardian angel,  my mom I just want to pause in this new year and say...
 "I love you".

You see Jan 2nd was my mom's birthday and I want to start this new year with a special recognition of a very special loving spirit.

On Christmas eve, I met my dear friend for lunch and she said my mother had a message for me.  She said  my mom wished me a very Merry Christmas with my new family and she also said to cut my bangs 1/4 inch, not straight across though...   For those who may not know this, my mom passed away several years ago and yes, she communicates thru one of my closest friends...Nora.

Tears streamed down my face when given this message as it always does...as I am absolutely in awe of these spiritual connections and I feel extremely blessed with the Saville family now in my life.

And then the mention of my hair, well that brings a special smile to my face.  You see when I was a child, I use to be very dramatic when my mom wanted to cut my bangs.  I would fuss and carry on while she worked on my hair but after she was done and held me up in the mirror, I would totally change my tune and tell her "Oh mommy I love it"   My mom use to always give me advice on how to wear my hair so it doesn't surprise me that she continues to do so today.

The reason she is advising me to cut my bangs shorter?  Well she feels that I am hiding behind them right now and she wants me to show my eyes to the world more. And that my friends is what 2013 will be for me. I am heading next week to get my hair cut and  I will get my bangs shorter and I will show my eyes to the world more this year as I continue to grow on my own unique path in life.

And so I say to all of you.... be still for a moment, take a good look around you, find your signs because they are out there and then decide where your own unique path will go this year.   Go within...as you outwardly move forward... and always look up to fill yourself with positive energy and light.  Remember to share it with others and enjoy.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!   Make it a great big "WOO HOO" kind of year!
