Greetings!
 
On this Valentine's Day, I'm wishing you all the love in the world this year and always. 

sun valentine by Janet 2010 
For now I'm catching some rays in sunny Florida.  I'm relaxing, which is a form of self-love; and taking time to show love to my husband and extended family. That's what's great about love - the more you give away, the more you have.
 
The power in your belly.  Speaking of the sun - we are talking about the solar plexus - the core of your self-esteem and confidence, which warms you and nurtures you.  If self-confidence is high, you want to share your light through work or volunteering, or just being who you are.  If you want to join our circle, contact me via cell phone 203-722-3634 to get the call in number.  The call on Monday, February 15 at 8:30 pm, EST, is complimentary.
 
 
When you love yourself and others you are generally more healthy and happy, you make better choices, take care of yourself, and invite positive interaction at work and home.
 
valentine with heart by Janet Luongo 2010Forgiveness is a way to more love. Remember the spark of life is in every living being, no matter how dim in seems.  (I know, you may say in some people it's very, very dim.) When I have difficulty with people, I think of that light within them that connects to the light within me, and it helps me get along better. 
 
I realized early on that forgiveness is not something that gets the other person off the hook, which we might feel reluctant to do if they really hurt us.  It gets US off the hook.  It liberates us from carrying the burden of anger, resentment, revenge, bitterness.  It frees us from being the victim, because forgiveness loosens their hold on us. Seeing their light helps us see the light everywhere, and truly "lightens" our load.   
 
My spiritual mentor, Frank Hall, often quotes Miller Williams:
Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it.  What appears to bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.  You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
 
Share your love!
Janet
