Well, it is the first day of February.  February is National Heart Month and Valentine's Day, my favorite holiday. I love hearts, the colors red and pink and everything about Valentine's Day.  The heart is my favorite part of the body. This is where we feel love.  I am definitely a romantic at heart.  I thought it would be appropriate to concentrate on this month's theme on LOVE.

Everyone wants and needs love. It is the universal medium of exchange.  Is there anything more satisfying than being fully present in the moment, with the people that we care about?  Make friends with yourself, then spread the love.  Bear in mind that time can be love's friend or foe, so make sure you keep your relationship's current.  Loving relationships are the music of life.  We'd be fools not to learn the tunes.

Intention of the Month

I fill my life with the people I love and those I may love one day.  Harmonious relationships are the sweet notes in my existence.

Try it out:  Loving out Loud

Loving words reach faster when they are delivered live.  This month, pick a person that you haven't spoken to in a while or anyone you want and call or better yet, tell someone that you love them in person or by phone.  If you prefer to write, send the mail the old-fashioned way with a stamp.  Intimacy levels rise when the connections are live.

Please write how this exercise was for you.  What feelings stirred up within you when you told someone that you love them?  What did they say to you?  How was this experience for you?
