Embracing Love

Lately I have noticed a particular thing happening in my life. It has been going on for a couple of months now. The funny thing is I can pin point the day it began.

It was a Sunday morning and my husband, children and I were sitting in the sitting room having a family meeting. I suppose it began as one of those meetings where one of our teenagers was being cheeky or disrespectful, some minor infringement in rules. So there we were all sitting in our armchairs or couch when my husband began to talk about “The Power” by Ronda Byrne. He and I had just begun listening to it the previous week on Audible and were very much enthralled with the message and the vibrant way the book was read by the author.

The message is simple ... embrace love.  Look for love in everything, give thanks for everything starting each day with a list of those things which you are thankful for and ending each day doing exactly the same thing. You even are thankful for those things you don’t yet have but would like. This is a feeling message; you think the thoughts and take into your heart the excitement of achievement.

Our children listened to a couple of chapters that Sunday morning and all our lives have changed since then.

I wake up each day happier and more appreciative than I have ever been before in my life. My love for my husband knows no bounds and this love is returned to me, my children are more loving and respectful because guess what? I am more loving and respectful to them. Each one of us is careful about how we talk about others and if we make a slip there is always someone there to gently put is back on course again.

What I have noticed is that we have all opened ourselves to more positive relationships not only with each other but with everyone we come into contact with. The children are less easily offended by their peers because they focus on the good and thus are no longer enmeshed in that see saw world of fights and make ups. Life is more relaxed and everyone is just ... happier.

The beauty of this change is that you become more aware of the lovely things around you; a piece of classical music takes the place of some pop song about girls kissing girls or sex and hangovers. Lots of beautiful art, and books with heart warming messages seem to be coming to us in a never ending flow.

Today I received on FaceBook the most amazing piece of film; it both lifted my heart and brought tears to my eyes. The human spirit is awe inspiring and is so because of love.

I hope you feel as moved by these two men as my family was.

Please share my message of love with as many people as possible and ignite the power to change your life now!

I highly recommend this life changing book from Amazon:
