Open ourselves to the love that is available to us. We do not have to limit our sources of love. God and the Universe have an unlimited supply of what we need, including love.
When we are open to receiving love, we will begin to receive it. It may come from the most surprising places, including from within ourselves.
We will be open to and aware of the love that is and has been there for us all along. We will feel and appreciate the love from friends. We will notice and enjoy the love that comes to us from family.
We will be ready to receive love in our special love relationships too. We do not have to accept love from unsafe people - people who will exploit us or with whom we don't want to have relationships. But there is plenty of good love available - love that heals our hearts, meets our needs, and makes our spirit sing.
We have denied ourselves too long. We have been martyrs too long. We have given so much and allowed ourselves to receive too little. We have paid our dues. It is time to continue the chain of giving and receiving by allowing ourselves to receive.
Today, I will open myself to the love that is coming to me from the Universe. I will accept it and enjoy it when it comes.
*Melody Beattie*

" When you ask God to heal your life, She shines a very bright light on everything you need to look at. You end up seeing things about yourself that maybe you’d rather not see. We have a lot of armor that has accumulated in front of our hearts—a lot of fear self righteously masquerading as something else. "
Marianne Williamson

AA Thought of the Day / The dammed-up emotions of years break out of their confinement, and miraculously vanish as soon as they are exposed. As the pain subsides, a healing tranquility takes its place. / 12 & 12, p. 62


Water always receives whatever is thrown into it. It surrounds with itself whatever it receives. It never anticipates, or prepares. When your mind functions like water, you absorb whatever life throws your way. No matter what happens, you cope. If you are alive, you have already handled what life has thrown your way. You have taken everything in and surrounded it with who you are. If you hadn't, you would be dead. If you are still alive, you are more absorbent and stronger than you might think.
Lloyd J. Thomas

Through our daily exchange with others we can "re-discover" our emotions and how to work with them as a result of our experiences. In looking through the eyes of another, we see the reflections of our own strengths and weaknesses, our triumphs and our shortcomings.
Jim Grant

Our soul work...is to repair ourselves, to heal into wholeness. It is, simply put, to identify and remove whatever gets in the way of being truly who we are. It is the task of uncovering our authentic self from the encrustations that overlay it, concealing it from us.
M.J. Abadie

"In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery. It’s the place of reflection and contemplation, and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing, to the deep wisdom way."
Angeles Arrien

"Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others... And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude."
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Those who think that the world is a dark place are blind to the light that might
illuminate their lives.
