MUSINGS

Love is in the air! My daughter got engaged a few weeks ago and we have been in wedding planning mode.

It has been exciting seeing my daughter and her fiance imagine their special day and how each vendor will play a part in bringing that vision to life. 

Seeing the two of them discussing their plans warms my heart. Even though they are quite young, they have been together for almost four years. During that time, they have lifted one another up and been encouragers. 

Another thing I've noticed is that my daughter makes decisons very differently than I do. While I have a tendancy to do a lot of comparing and contrasting, once she finds something she likes, she stops looking and doesn't compare at all.

How do you make decisions? There is no right or wrong way. We tend to make decisions based on our makeup. (More on that below.)

Looking at venues and booking djs and photographers to create a day that reflects their love for one another led me to wonder "How much time and care do we spend finding ways to express love for ourselves?"

Whatever we put our attention on expands. Are you paying attention to your heart's desires? 

As we enter into the energy of the "month of love" (isn't every month an opportunity to express love?), I invite you to notice how you express love and how you receive love. And schedule some time for you to focus on what you love.

That might mean taking time to get clear about what it is you love, or building self-care into your daily routine, or planning a special getaway where you can spend time doing what matters most to you.

Whatever it looks like to you, show yourself some love!
