“Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself…”- Paramahansa Yogananda

This week is a time for sharing love, expressing love and extending love to others. In making others hearts feel loved you will fill your own heart with that very same love. Be thoughtful & put heart felt intention into your offerings. Be affectionate and romantic and work to make your bonds with the people in your life closer.

Perhaps engage in random acts of kindness for strangers. You don’t only have to give love to those you know. Offer a smile, hand shake or strike up a conversation with someone who looks lonely. Sometimes the best gifts we can give to others is our time and intentional engagement.

I was in the grocery store about two months ago and was checking out with a cart full of groceries and the man in front of me turned and looked at me and said “have you ever heard of random acts of kindness?” And I said “yes I have” and he said “well I would like to buy all of your groceries today.” My heart filled with so much appreciation and gratitude and really just reminded me how beautiful people really are. I bow to his beauty and light and share this so that his light might continue to spread. It is easy to get stuck in a place of forgetting that most people are really wonderful and at the core we all want to be loved and appreciated. Try to see the oneness of all beings.

Ignite your own fire of love. Send love to yourself. Send love to those around you. Send love to the universe and give thanks.
