reflections:

Imagine experiencing being so in the presence of unconditional love that you knew yourself as love; love moved through you and was you, a passionate lover of unspeakable and everlasting beauty of mind, body, and spirit! Any feelings of separation disappear; love is all there is. Ultimately, that is the victory in the game we are playing... cafe gratitude

I think our realities are created in a huge way by who wPublish Poste see ourselves to be. We've all created sub par realities by believing sub par truths about ourselves. I think some fundamental realities for me are realities of knowing the Universe's, I call God's, protection over us. to know that you're 100% loved, that your life and your destiny is 100% provided for…that you're already a success, that God loves you and made you out of great love, destined for great love, able to choose love…

we are given, through this opportunity called life, the chance to love. we can all choose this reality. the more love you give the richer you'll feel. love grows when you give it away. love forgives. love communicates. love understands. love respects and sees and accepts. love is patient, love is kind. It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

we can start with the person in front of us. we can start with the people we work with, live with, our families. we can start with ourselves. 

we must receive the love to give love. we must first love ourselves. forgive ourselves…you are lovable. you are beautiful. you are seen. and there is always enough.
