Coming From Love…

I am often asked, what does LOVE mean to me.  When I say I LOVE you or sign my correspondence Love Liz, I am expressing my desires for others, and affirming my own intention and integrity for loving.

L - May you have the strength to Let Go of the stories which no longer serve you.

O - May you give yourself permission to Own the richness your life’s path.

V - May you Value your contributions.

E - May you Embrace the truth of your magnificence.

I’ve learned to let go of the past and remember - everything happens for a reason.  Certainly, situations arise to challenge this truth…yet, with each experience I know I’m called to release another piece of my story… Revisiting the story without judgement, blame, fault finding or criticism frees me to love myself.

As I look back on my life, I have realized there were no mistakes…  I was doing the best I could each day, month, year.  With each experience, I was learning new healthy ways of living my life.  When the guilt, fears, and limitations return…  I remind myself that I am still doing the best I can…  I am supporting myself and owning the richness of my life which guides me in new self-supportive ways.  One of the greatest gifts I’ve received, was learning to value my contribution to the lives of others and to my world in general.  The more I am able to value myself… the more love I receive and give…  As I value myself… I give others the permission to do the same.

As I embrace the truth that I make a difference… knowing there is only one me, I begin to witness the shifts in the lives of those I love…  I am able to truly accept my magnificence and know I am empowering others to embrace their own magnificence…
