Spread Love Everywhere You Go

I love to write long hand in my journal and I adore giving and getting a hand written letter.  Still my friends assure me that blogging can be an equally rich experience.  Since I love to write I'm going to give it a try. 

Let me first say, "Thank you!" to Maryann Swartz who loves to blog.  Without her enthusiasm for blogging and her help getting me set-up, I might not have started.  Thank you Maryann!! 

It's the 1st day of February and I love this month.  While I admit I'm a bona fide "romantic" I'm also a true believer in the power of love to help and heal on many levels.  The deepest need of every human being is to feel like we matter, to feel we are loved and accepted just as we are. 

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were more inclined to be curious rather than critical of ourselves and each other?  Wouldn't it be lovely if we responded with more compassion and kindness instead of quick judgments and harshness?

let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier ... "  Mother Teresa
