For My Friends on Valentine’s Day

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

To experience the presence of Love in your life, I offer these thoughts:

First, sit silently with a grateful heart
Try singing the HU—a gentle mantra of love
Notice how wealthy you are in heartfelt relations
Seek opportunities to pass that abundance forward
Add sparkle to each encounter with a smile…

Second, to strengthen Love muscles 
Purposely open your heart 
Remove all protective armor 
Lift another’s weight—listen earnestly 
Rev up your light—radiate compassion
Breathe deeply to restore your inner glow
Then smile as each discovers common ground 

Third, activate a “Patience Ritual” 
When plans change—shift your response
Likely Spirit just gave you a No-Go time out!
Random detours can help reroute one’s focus
Moving Love to the top of the day’s To-Do List
Holy Spirit is “clever” when we allow it to lead
It informs and expands our sense of wholeness
So go ahead—be a real-life Valentine
Just activate love to celebrate life every moment!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
