 Love, is a powerful four letter word that can transform the hardest of conditions. Interestingly enough, in the appearance of the lack of love, every human will tell you that love is the answer to quell human ills. We all know in a deep visceral way that love is our nature, our birthright. It is common to hear on a daily basis, “What the world needs is more love,” “Love makes the world go around,” “I love this or that….,” and “I love you.” Love is peppered in our conversations. However, the concept of love seems to be difficult to understand and/or apply in all our interactions. For some, love means ownership, for others, it is a “religion”, as though it were a daily practice. In some instances, love is used to create division. It can be divisive, thereby creating polarization. Erich Fromm, author of The Art of Loving, said, “Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.” And, I completely agree. But why is it that something so simple, so natural, so familiar seems so complicated to understand or practiced as a way of life. Maybe the complication is rooted in being a “grown up.” Too often, playing the role of an “adult” tends to drain the fun, curiosity and playfulness out of life. Through societal and cultural conditioning, we erroneously believed that being serious, tough and super focused are the keys to success. Nothing can be further from the truth. True success is inspired by love. Love is essential for our growth. Love harmonizes and restores our well-being. Rather than focus on the various expressions of love, i.e., romantic, brotherly and agape, I am going to take the liberty and focus mainly on Agape/Agapeo Love aka, Unconditional Love. I call this, “True Love.”  How do you love unconditionally in a world full of conditions, rules, expectations and assumptions? This is one of the greatest challenges of being human. Unconditional love is a force. It is a “power-full” energy that dissolves anything that is unlike itself. This is why people find it challenging to love or maybe I should say, why people find it challenging to demonstrate love. Love is a verb. Love without action is just words. It is empty. To love is a choice. When love is expressed through actions, both the giver and the receiver are changed. When I say, “changed” I mean, changed, as in transformation!!! It is the kind of change that ice cubes experience when they come in contact with heat. Love is indeed fiery. The fire of love will melt you and all that is not in vibrational alignment with its high frequency.
This process of “melting” is synonymous to death. The death of the egoic (fear) mind. And in this instance, it is really a death. To experience unconditional love there must be a death - ending. What does that look like in our relationships? Well, to be loving, you must be willing to let go. Let go of judgment, blame, criticism or the need to be right. All of these hinder the flow of love. In order to know love, be love and to extend love, you must be willing to melt into a new reality. It is an act of surrender. Surrender in this case, means, yielding to your greater good. It is a willingness to be transformed. Love will soften your heart. It will change your view on life. It can and will draw people and experiences to you that inspire you to be more. You will find yourself being more in the flow of life. Even when you are growing through challenges, your will notice a sense of anchoring within your spirit. You will live in a space of perpetual calmness, joy, creativity and gratitude. Love is attractive – it attract positive relationships and transforms all that no longer serves you. Whatever comes in contact with love will change form and will be made brand new. This is true growth. In a sense, love returns you to your true self, to your childlike (innocent) nature. That self that is powerful beyond measure. Yes, to love is to take a risk… a risk to surrendering to the call of your soul… a risk to face the beloved within you and others… and a risk to melt into peace, kindness and gentleness. Paradoxically, what you perceive as risks are really your “Life-Giving” rewards. Until next time, I love you! I bless you! I appreciate you and I thank God for you!! Be Still. Listen.

 This week is filled with extra focus on love – especially romantic love. One that is dear to the heart of many. (Pun intended). It’s a time to celebrate the ones we love, including ourselves. Unfortunately, there are those who are going to allow themselves to believe that they are not enough, good enough or conclude that there is something wrong because they don’t have a romantic partner. If you are one of them, I have something loving to say to you. Come closer, “STOP IT”! ;-) Change your focus and listen to the voice of the beloved within.
There is a love inside of all of us that is free and accepts us just as we are. This love is beckoning you. It is whispering softly, “I am here. Let me love you beyond your wildest imagination.” This love is your beloved. It is a reminder that you are the love and lover that you are looking for. So you are always in love, even if you don’t know it. Regardless of your relationship status, the truest love affair one would ever experience is the one you have with yourself. We often hear people say, “What the world needs is love.” Guess what?! Your beloved is saying to you, “What the world needs is YOU with all your divine awesomeness. You are the RePresentation of Love in action.” Through your actions of self-acceptance, kindness, compassion, service, sharing, and generosity of spirit, you re-present love to the world on a daily basis. The highest form of love is made visible when we choose to express love by being loving. When you wait or expect the world to let you know you are loved, you might be waiting for a long time; and in the long run you will find out this is a temporary expression of love. Know you are lovable and loved, unconditionally. When you tune into the frequency of your beloved, you will know it as Truth. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”~ Rumi Take back your power. Turn your focus within and toward the fragrance of your beloved. It is the key to your liberation. Surrender to the invitation of your beloved. Feel its loving embrace. Feel its acceptance, just as you are. When you are with your beloved, you are enough. You are power-full, success-full, beauty-full. Your beloved will never leave or betray you; no matter what. Say YES to your beloved and you are in for an intoxicating love affair – Love without limits!! Until next time, I love you! I bless you! I appreciate you and I thank God for you!! Be Still. Listen.
