I am a lover of gardens, oceans, and forests and lakes.  I take my camera and shoot.  I have no idea what speed or distance to stand.  I experiment.  

This week, I keep my photo of the feather image by my computer because it reminds me to flow.  Love is a flow.  Flow rather than getting stuck in your head or bored.   I also keep a flower photo to remind me of wonderment and that Spring will return.   Isn’t that love?

When I am doing things I love then I have more to give others. Life changes. Change is normal. I think changes keep us trusting rather than controlling. Change opens you to creativity. What do you know about yourself that you love doing?

You know I believe the more you know who you are and aren’t the more you can really see the other person. ..BE with another person.   Celebrate love in a new way today. What will that be for you?

Life changes. THE LOVE YOU FEEL FOR YOURSELF is always a celebration.  Pass kindness on to your partners, children, family, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles…well you get the idea.  Do something today that will bring up your love.  What music lifts you to get up and sing or dance?  Just do it for love today! Kick up the wild side.

Here is a quotation from Georgia OKeefe.
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around, so they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”

Have fun feelin the love. Let us know what you do to feel the love?
