Be kind to yourself –
It’s a Sign of Love

It’s been more than a couple weeks since I started my ‘Look for Signs of Love’ adventure.

Some days I find myself ‘searching’, as if signs of Love are hard to find and there’s only a certain finite amount.  I wonder if this is an unconscious reflection of how I view other important aspects in my life?

This project is just about a noticing – a look, not a frantic search of Love and hoping I’ll find some totally out-of-this-world sign of Love to experience and write about.  It’s about an open heart and eyes that see differently, a new mind that focuses on what is loving and a remembering  -Love is.

Parking my car, rummaging through my purse to find the little coin pouch and cell phone so that I could leave my heavy bag behind while at Saturday market, I paused for a moment and questioned whether to bring my cell.  I quickly decided to leave it behind.

Oh, how I LOVE Saturday market in Eugene – my heart comes alive there. The produce is lush and beautiful, the colors vibrant and people are everywhere smack in the middle, soaking in the life- force of the amazing abundant veggies and berries.  I simply rejoice.

Walking down the stairs of the parking garage, I’d finished my first flight and then started to doubt myself leaving my phone behind.  What if I found a ‘sign of Love’ and didn’t have my phone to capture the moment, what if someone needs me, or one of my kids called, what if the guys fishing wanted me for something ..etc.!?
I took a deep breath and here’s what I realized.

I had just given myself the biggest ‘sign of Love’ ever by leaving my phone in the car!
I let go of anyone needing, wanting me for any reason and even if I spotted a sign of Love and didn’t have the means to take a picture to show you, I’d trust my heart to convey it perfectly.

I spotted a sign of Love though, and I have the picture for you.
It’s a previous photo from Saturday market a couple years ago. That’s my pretend granddaughter!

loving you,
