Elle's View As I See It
F
ebruary is a special month–it is celebrated as the Month of Love. It has
always been a favorite time of year for me. This year, I challenge you to
view this month as an opportunity to not only love others, but to love
yourself. A healthier, happier, and self-loving you will unveil the magic,
freedom, and power of becoming love in action.
So how do you grasp love? Funny you should ask... I think you can't.
"Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most
any of us can do is sign on as its accomplice."–Tom Watson. The only
requirement of love is your willingness to accept it.
Thinking with love sets you free! If you feel free, you can accomplish
whatever goals you set your mind to" says Adriana Cascata, author of Think
with Love. "People think there are different ways to live and enjoy life, but
the only way to be truly happy is through love."
What is love? Love is an action. Love is an energy that can be felt but not
seen. It is a bridge that connects you with others and, ultimately–conquers
all. It is only through the acceptance of love that wholeness of mind, body
and soul is ever achieved.
How can you show some love today? Just 'being there' can be what
matters most. Making amends and letting go of past hurts is a first step in
building broken bridges and creating that pathway back to love.
Give of yourself, to bring another closer to Love. Take that love and spread
it everywhere you go–leaving people feeling happier and more inspired for
having met you.
This Valentine's Day remind yourself that you are worthy of receiving all
the love sent your way. Spend it with somebody who gives selflessly to you
or spend it with the number one person worthy of love in your life–You!
Either way, hear the voice of love call your name... and answer it.
