Love is directly linked to our life energy, and an environment of love allows one to thrive.

I'm not saying that it is necessary, expected or even desirable that we live in that experience of warm-hearted, big-smile love every second of every minute of every day. Life flows, and it's natural to have a variety of feelings and experiences. However, it supports our own and others' growth and happiness to be able to feel and act from a place of love at will and when the situation calls for it.

When things feel murky and unsure, fine tuning our hearing so as to distinguish the voice of our Innermost Self brings clarity.

Within each of us is a beautiful gem. For some of us, that gem may stay hidden indefinitely. For others of us, with some personal work, that gem will get to see the light of day. All of us have the potential to unearth that inner beauty. The more we can work on ourselves, the smoother and more enjoyable our connections with others will be.
