Ripple Love

May 18, 2020

When you love something or someone or some place or some idea or. . .anything. . .love it with your whole heart. Live that Love, lean into that Love, share that Love.

My brother once said of my dad, “He loved life so life loved him back.”

It sounds simplistic, but it’s true. How many of us really love our lives?

When I was a little girl, I could feel how much my dad loved life. And it was infectious. I thought being a grownup was going to be amazing if we all got to love life this much and live around others who love life this much, too.

But how many of us can really say that we love life with our whole hearts?

Maybe it’s time for us to start. . .

Acceptance

May 16, 2020

Acceptance doesn’t mean laying down in the middle of the highway and letting ourselves be run over by oncoming traffic. It means assessing a situation and showing up to it as it is, while keeping our own heart-centered values intact and in operation.

Resistance, on the other hand, immediately shifts us out of wholeness into us/them. And once that happens, we have invited fear to the party, where it proceeds to convince us that we are not all in this together.

Wholeness is heart-centered, because it sees everything as connected. So in each situation, we need to choose the nearest right, the most heart-centered choice we can make in each moment.
