Love. Do you feel it? It encircles you in its embrace of simplicity. Moment by moment love is there in the space that surrounds you, in the cells that have formed you, in the breath that sustains you. Love is all around you, as the lyrics to a Wet Wet Wet song describe:

I feel it in my fingers

I feel it in my toes

Love is all around me

And so the feeling grows

It’s written on the wind

It’s everywhere I go, oh yes it is

So if you really love me

Come on and let it show

I love that song! It is another choral reminder that love is abounding and to open my heart and share it freely. I often end my personal correspondence with the words “Oceans of Love” because it reminds me that I am literally swimming in love and gently washes me into it’s presence.

I recently started an online journal where I daily record my gratitude’s. I have kept gratitude journals in the past, but for some reason, seeing on one page, multiple days strung together with grace, synchronicity, and delight has exposed the underlying current of love that is flowing effortlessly through my life. It has blessed me with profound gratitude for my life, just as it is at this very moment.

Love is not complicated, it often come disguised as the simple things in life. Like a text from a friend that lights my morning with sunshine, a new online connection sparking a new idea, a friend who offers to help me promote my new Meetup group, a feeling of deep peace during my meditation and receiving a “I Love you Mom!!” from my daughter on Facebook.

It is important to acknowledge the love that encircles us daily, it doesn’t matter the form, it could be a prayer of gratitude, an actual journal that you write in nightly, an online form that allows you to see your days strung together with love, or even a message written in the sand. It is the expression of gratitude that counts, not the form. The more your heart truly sings with love and joy and peace the more your outer life will mirror the richness of who you are.

Remember, not only is love all around you, YOU are LOVE.

A mantra for the week:

I allow love to flow in me, through me and as me! For, I AM (deep breath) LOVE.
