In all the things we hope for these days, it is the energy of Love we crave more than any diamond, more than any sports car or even the largest paycheck. Love is infused in all we do, say and give to another or ourselves. Love is what constructed and nurtured this world. So if love is around us and in us why do we resist receiving it? True love is unconditional, limitless, and complete. To have something for free and without a struggle is very difficult for many to accept. Allowing your selves to love and be loved is the one gift I freely give to each of you.<\/p>\n<p>Why do we fight? Many of us have been taught by family, society, and peers that to get what you desire you must fight and struggle to receive it. Nothing comes easy and life is based on the battles won. Who do we fight when we struggle? It is always ourselves who we battle. The antagonistic self who tells us nothing can be that easy, nothing is for free, and love comes with a price. When our belief system is based on this fear and the battle of self, life is a struggle. When we turn away from our own battles and allow ourselves to be loved, we win. Life can seem difficult when we have no other view point. But when we allow for love life reveals opportunities that harshness and struggle hide.\u00a0 Our heart opens the door for infinite possibilities\u00a0when we\u00a0choose to love ourselves and others.\u00a0 What was impossible because of the self criticism voice &#8216;I don&#8217;t deserve this&#8217; is replaced with &#8216;I love myself to allow this opportunity for love&#8217;.\u00a0 Blocks and harshness dissolve away when\u00a0we choose to love ourselves and life around us.<\/p>\n<p>I ask you to allow yourself to love and be loved. At this time on your planet your own Mother Earth is transforming into the Mother of Love.\u00a0 Now is the time to plant the seeds of love into your life and transform your\u00a0heart and your reality.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Small acts of love equal a large shift of love in your life.\u00a0 Give a flower to a friend\u00a0or neighbor, compliment a co-worker or call up a family member\u00a0to share your love.\u00a0 \u00a0Receive a warm smile from a\u00a0stranger and feel their love within, stand in the sunshine and feel the warmth from Divine or just feel your spirit guides surrounding you with love and light. With each act of love you give yourself permission to receive all love in life. Now struggles and desires for the coming year can be done with less stress and punishment.<\/p>\n<p>I give each of you all my love. Open yourself to receive all you can. And let this love flow to all your life, all your family, and all your dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Love is around you.<\/p>\n<p>Love is within you.<\/p>\n<p>Love is you.<\/p>\n<p>You are LOVE.<\/p>\n<p>Namaste&#8217; Mother Mary<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Spring!
