![]() This title came to me – love takes many forms – as I sat preparing for our January Burning Bowl service (see YouTube recording below in the newsletter or on the home page of our website.) Love always comes into everything for me. Yet what do I mean by love? It is certainly not a wishy/washy feeling that means I let people walk all over me and have no say about my life. It doesn’t mean all taking and no giving either. Truly, Love, in all its forms, is always unconditionally given to be truly felt and received. So, what does love mean to me? It is about opening to the beauty, love, light, life that we call God and letting that become my very being, my own True nature. How powerful is that! It is about standing in my power and authority, but without causing harm to another. It is about being compassionate, kind and caring to myself and ALL life and nature and finding ways to live as loving kindness. It is about humility, letting go of pride and personal needs that must be fulfilled for me to be happy. It is about knowing, as Jesus knew, God and I are one, without limit or restriction of any kind. This was my personal focus for our January Burning Bowl service and is the focus of my life for this coming year. My affirmation: I am fully present to Love as our True nature. What does love mean to you? Does any of the above resonate with you? Is there another way you would express and experience love? I invite you to get still, reflect on Love in all its forms, and connect with how you want to experience Love this year, then go forth and do it. For you are made in the image and likeness of God, and anything you set your mind to do, you can achieve.

What does love mean to you? It's a great question.Love is the Formless, All Powerful & Eternal Love, that is inclusive. No one left out side.

Thank you for your beautiful and inspiring message. There are so many of us going through challenging times right now, it is always so good to be reminded that staying in a place of Love is what we need to get through anything. I know for me I have had to dig very deep lately as sometimes I let fear overcome Love. It's constant work but I do truly know that Love is all their is. The rest is just an illusion. Thank You Thank You❤️❤️

I realise that love is acceptance of what is. No need to change or judge anything or anyone. The spirit of God is .

I think love is a by product of attention and focus ( being in the moment ) and a connection. It is ethereal, it cannot be captured. It feels sweet and warm like honey. When this connection appears to break, there is a longing, an emptiness.
