Love is the Healer

These feel like heavy times and we can often feel powerless and overwhelmed. The question of what can we do?  How can we make it better?  Start with yourself.  Be kind and loving to yourself.  Be kind and loving to your family members.  Be kind and loving to your friends.  Be kind and loving to those you work with.  Be kind and loving to strangers.  Have compassion for others even if they irritate the hell out of you.  Don’t feel kind and loving sometimes?  It doesn’t feel easy as we get immersed in our own pain and take on the pain of others.  Take a quiet walk and breathe.  Write a gratitude list of 5 things for which you are grateful.  Take inventory of your passions and interests.  Remember you are loved by someone.  It starts with love, radiates out from within and literally affects others on many levels and ends with love in partnership as a healer.
