Love Is…

Love is what I feel when I can still the fear and listen for direction. It’s peace, it’s joy, it’s harmony and certainty of purpose. It’s the feeling I get from accepting, cherishing and respecting myself. It comes from soul and it resonates to my core.

If you’d asked me in my 20’s I’d have said love was the feeling I had with the tall, dark, handsome guy who took me out a few times, except the last time we were supposed to go out he never showed up. And when I called him later, he said he was with his ex-girlfriend and lost track of the time.

In my 30’s I’d have said love was the feeling I had with the tall, dark, handsome guy who took me out a few times, except the last time we were supposed to go out he never showed up. And when I called him later, he said he was having such a good time at his friend’s party that he lost track of the time.

Now I know that love has nothing to do with my feelings for someone else or someone else’s feelings for me. It’s the solid, substantive, unwavering feeling I have when I show up for myself, when I take care of myself, when I care more about what I think of myself than what anyone else thinks of me.

I’d love to know what it is for you, so fill in the blank for yourself, then send me a message.

Love is ……
