Loving With Gratitude

Life has taken a real sharp turn these last several months. Meditation is a gift that grounds me. If you have not checked out the free meditation series done by Deepak and Oprah I HIGHLY recommend it. Especially if you've never meditated before.

This morning this was the opening message and I had to write it down. It is a message filled with such truth. It's a message that is now part of me and one I want to be made clear to Haley and Ryan, now and always.

There are really only 2 emotions in life-love and fear.

When we open ourselves to loving and expressing love from a place of gratitude, something miraculous happens. Fear starts to melt away. Love is one of life's greatest teachers. Through love we experience joy, acceptance, and freedom. You realize that gratitude is not so much about how someone else receives or responds to it, rather, it's about you connecting with the truest expression of yourself.

 When you choose to love everything and everybody around you, you send a clear message to the universe. My love transcends fear, anger, rejection. I love even those who have hurt me because they're the ones who need it the most.

 I am thankful for every experience, good or bad, and for how it shaped me into the person I am today. Loving fearlessly through gratitude is one of the most courageous things a human being can do. 

So, I breathe in loving with gratitude and no fear.
