Matters of the heart Dear One always seem to be much more complicated then they actually are.

But you see, love is love.  It is what it is.  Wonderful, powerful, intoxicating, healing, transformative, transcendent, inspiring, fun.  No matter how you slice it, dice it or serve it up  – love is just that, love.   And there is nothing complicated about it.

Love only becomes complicated Dear one, when you begin to put dependencies on it and assign requirements to it – when you decide that it exists only in conjunction with a specific set of circumstances, behaviors, actions, words, or deeds.   THAT is where the complication rests Dear One –  not with love.

The truth is that love has no dependencies and it is everywhere.  You are swimming in it in fact.   And all you need to do to experience it, is allow yourself to open up to it –  allow it to flow to you, through you and from you.   And the way many of you learn how to do that, to open up to the experience of love, is through relationships with people that inspire you to fall, and through that inspiration you learn to let go, open up,  and let it flow.

But remember Dear One, that love is not sex.  Love is not marriage.  Love is not a family.  Love is not a promise, a commitment, a duty, an obligation or a responsibility.

We want to help you see that any complications that you think you are experiencing as a result of love – are actually a part of your perceived personal reality only,  and are not in fact a reality of love.

Grant yourself a great gift today Dear one and let go of all of the things, rules, dependencies that you have put in place as a condition of love and give yourself permission to simply allow it, experience it, enjoy it, be inspired by it, transformed by it, healed by it.  Swim in it Dear One,  unfettered, undefined, uncomplicated, love.

Life, can be complicated Dear One, but love never is.

Enjoy it.

No amount of logical thinking or logical action can turn around that which you are feeling Dear One, so don’t waste your time trying.  Logic, has very little to do with what is, with what has happened, with how you are feeling, and you know it.

Your emotional response is exactly as you would expect it to be considering all that has happened, and logic has very little to do with it.

Logic can be a very useful tool for narrowing down choices or dictating limitations.  But now is not the time for limitations or for limited thinking Dear One.  Now is not the time for you to be practicing your logic.

Now is the time for you to be practicing something larger, something that will serve you, that will serve all of you, without limitations.  Now is the time for you to be practicing faith, compassion,  patience, acceptance of what is, generosity of spirit, forgiveness, tolerance and giving and receiving love.

Today is not the day for logic Dear One.

How much light you have in your life Dear One, how connected you are to source, is entirely up to you.

We, consciousness, guidance, spirit, source, are not more available to you on some days and less available to you on others.   We are not more available to some people and less available to others.

We are equally available to all, like the sun, and from our perspective, there are no rainy days.

The openness of your heart Dear One, your ability to trust, is what determines the amount of light in your life, how connected you are to your source.  Nothing more and nothing less.

You can choose to open up the shades a little and let a small amount of light in, or you can choose to open them up all the way and let the light pour in all around you.

Just how bright would you like it to be today Dear One?

You know its not true Dear One.  You don’t have to face every singe one of your fears to move past them.

There’s another way.  You’ve got another choice.

If you are willing to, you can simply let them go instead.

Take notice of the hands that you are holding onto Dear One, the connections that you choose to maintain.

Are they helping you up or holding you down?  Are they pulling you back or encouraging you forward?  Are they leading you in the direction that best serves you or in the direction that best serves them?

If you are not sure Dear One, let go for a moment or two (or three or four if you need to) and find out.

It’s important that you know.

Why doubt yourself, punish yourself, be hard on yourself, or skimp on yourself Dear One, when you can comfort yourself, forgive yourself, have confidence in yourself or be generous with yourself instead?

You are the one choosing the thoughts that you think, the beliefs that you hold, and the actions that you take – no one else.

So why not choose the supportive ones, the positive ones, the loving ones that make you feel good about yourself instead?

You are not better than, worse than, taller than, shorter than, smarter, slower, blonder, balder, funnier,  more talented or enlightened than, anyone in any way that matters or holds any true significance, to anyone other than you Dear One.

The contrasts that you perceive in your life everyday have true meaning and value only to you – to help you find/see clearly that which you are wanting more of in your life and that which you are wanting less of.

The more or less, has relevance only to you Dear One,  and is in no way a reflection of your worth, value or significance as an individual, a citizen or as a soul.

You are all of equal value, quality, significance, worth and height in the eyes of spirit.

If you are in need of a day off Dear One, take it!

A prayer is a peaceful promise to yourself Dear One – a promise to allow that which you are desiring, asking for, wishing to see, into your life.

A prayer is a preparation.  It is a ritual to help get you ready to receive, to help you shift into a mindset of receiving.

That is why prayers of gratitude are the most powerful.

•  You are so much stronger than you think you are
• You shine so much brighter than you think you do
•  Your influence travels so much farther than you think it does
• Your love is so much more powerful, healing, and transformative then you believe it to be
• Your impact on the world is significant Dear One, each and every day

The (not so) small favor that we ask of you is this:  Believe us.

Believe us when we tell you that all of these things are true, and make your choices, approach your challenges and live your life accordingly.

If you could do this one (not so) small favor for us Dear One,  we can assure you that the results will have a not so small impact on you, your loved ones and the world around you.
