Linda, thank you for these diverse sources of comment on “love.” They are simple reminders of how easy it can be to “be love.” Love is the core of our being and thankfully the more we give the more is available! I appreciate your positive approach to the realities of life!
Oh Catherine, thank-you for your kind comments! I adore your phrase, “be love”. It reminds me of a dear friend who would say, “You are love, you are love, you are love.” Just think if each and every day we would arise, look in the mirror and tell ourselves that we are love? How could that change the world?
