Dear Friend,  

 

TopFebruary is marked by Valentine's day and can be called the month of love. Don't let February be the only month you express love to those you care for the most. 

 

In The Road Less Traveled, M. Scott Peck defines love as "the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth."

 

To love is to grow in kindness, compassion, and charity and in so doing you nurture the growth of other's as well. In celebration of Valentine's day give the greatest gift to those you care about - love them for who they are and for who they can become.

 
All the best,

 
Kirk

GreenGrassThe grass is always greener where you water it!

 

At one time or another we all think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence but in fact the grass is greener where we water it.   

 

A great example of this is the large number of couples who, after a divorce, wish they would have tried harder to save their marriage. In other words, they wish they would have taken the time to water the grass of their marriage instead of seeking greener pastures.

 

This 'greener pastures' phenomena is present when we attempt to derive happiness from external factors. Thinking that more money, a bigger house, a nicer car or a different spouse will make us happy is the same as thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.  

 

None of those things will make you happy because happiness is created from the inside out.

Diane sends out a new and inspiring LuCysMiLeS everyday. I will feature one here each month. See below how you can be uplifted everyday as well.

 

 Along The Way - by LuCy sMiLeS
 
There are so many ups and downs, sun shines after rains, and love after pains in our lives, it's a wonder we are still able to cope.
 
Every day we wake up, and we are faced with numerous tasks, tackles, and tribulations. It is not just our lives we are trying to deal with, but those who we share our lives with.  Whether we are raising a family or building friendships- issues raised in one life, is spread into each life, either directly or indirectly.
 
It is so important to be in upmost trust, love, respect, honesty and understanding with our inner journey so we can project the best energy to those who we love and those who we live with.
 
I always say to my friends that "We can get through anything with love", but just as with saying this, I say "We cannot get through anything without love."
 
Our relationship with ourselves, with others and with the world as a whole may often seem hit and miss.  But we may soon find that as soon as we truly find our purpose, we can then notice that we come full circle, and that we are much more ready and able to be there, in all ways possible. 
 
It would be nice to be behind the camera, or behind the curtain to see what the Universe has up his/ her sleeve.
But as much as we act like we have, and wish we had all the answers; perhaps, we like life being the mystery that it is; all along.
