WE THINK ABOUT MONEY THESE DAY, BUT WHERE IS LOVE?

There's nothing wrong with celebrating Valentine's Day. I'm in favor of it. But like other holiday's, it comes with pressure to give to others by spending money and the feeling that, somehow, you fall short if you don't. Some 150 million Valentine's Day
cards are sent annually, making this day the second most popular card-sending holiday, after Christmas.

I can remember making Valentine's Day cards when I was a child, with anticipation of exchanging them with my latest crush, or receiving a card from a mystery Valentine's which was incredibibly exciting. There was a heartfelt innocence about all that as I and others gravitated toward our first relationships, giggling and blushing, with few cares in the world. We did not try to control anything but, what was believed to be real...was real! The idea that Valentine's Day was big business and getting bigger every year was far, far away in another galaxy.

Flash forward to today and the consuming thoughts of having more money, needing more money, not having enough money, praying for it, scraping by, the energy we have attached to the man made paper dollar has certainly shifted our feelings of love and taken away some of the thrills and fun that could always lift our spirits in days gone by. It has been said that
"money is the root of all evil," and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that so much focus on it has taken away some of the simple pleasures of life and love.
"MONEY, IN SHORT, IS THE MOTHER OF ALL CONSPIRACIES. In contrast to that, God's direction--Universal Law---is very simple: LOVE IS EVERYTHING.

Love is the chemical cocktail of the laws of attraction. Maybe it doesn't pay the bills but it can sure make life worth living in ways that money never will. Our quality of life isn't all about money and our fixation on the marketplace pales in comparison to the exchange of the energy of LOVE. Giving and receiving it enriches us, fills us with light and happiness and boosts power, spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally. It is the key ingredient in the practice of manifestation. So, while there's nothing wrong with Valentine's Day, why do we set aside only one day to express our love? Saying ''I LOVE YOU" to someone everyday, and meaning it, doesn't cost a penny and moves a powerful energy in your life, more powerful than anything in the Universe.


*To all my clients who support my column
My words have not always been solemn
Sometime light, sometimes dark, their true meaning,
is meant to clear your mind and fill your heart
So...in honor of this Valentine's Day, I'm hoping that
LOVE DOES COME YOUR WAY~~~~ everyday...


"Young love is a flame, very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering.
The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable."

---Henry Ward Beecher
