  Love makes the world go round!  How do I know this?  We are created with and for love.  At the end of the day, when all is said and done it is always love that brings the healing, the power, the courage, the hope, the creation, inspiration, joy, and the peace.  As a child, I always thought this meant that if I was not experiencing love or being loving or feeling love that something was wrong.  I was not being who God wanted me to be, I was a bad girl, I had an unclean heart, etc.  What I didn’t understand that love is at our core, we can never be anything but love and our lives are the process of returning to that from which we were created.  When I am experiencing something other than love it is the catalyst to bring me back to LOVE.  Whatever it is–a relationship, an event, a feeling, a thought–they are all indications of how far or close I am from my true essence.  There is nothing wrong.  Things that happen in my experience are simply opportunities to return to love.  No matter what happens, no matter what I do, no matter what I say or don’t say I simply cannot undo God.  When we let go into love, when we don’t resist our true selves, when we surrender our stories and wake up to how connected we are to All that Is, we experience a true peace because we have come home.  I know that I experience this when I am in the presence of God, when I take a deep breath, when I pause and get present in my body, when I extend love to another human being, when I take action in the direction of my passions, and most importantly when I let go and trust that I AM okay and there is nothing wrong.  The opposite belief is one of the well-worn stories of my ego and it is ultimately a gift because every time the story begins to run in my head, it is a signal that I am off-line and need to reestablish the connection.  Therefore, I can love the story too.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to connect to LOVE in whatever way works for us and know that God longs to connect with us and through us in every way possible, we get to pick.  Make it a great one!  Peace ~ Colleen
