HEART DIARY
Inspired by Love (remarkable story)
“May you always be inspired…
to stand tall…” (remarkable story- scroll down)
‘May You Always Be Inspired To Stand Tall In The Sunlight.
To Seek Out The Bright Face of Beauty.
To see the world through the eyes of tenderness.
To love with openheartedness.
To speak the quiet word of comfort.
To look up to the mountain and not be afraid to climb.
May you always be aware of the needs of others.
Believe in the wonder of Life.
The miracle of creation,
The Joy of Love,
The Beauty of the Universe,
The dignity of the human being’
(Hadin Marshall)
I was in my early teens tooling down I-5 on my first real road trip with a very fun girlfriend. We were crammed in my little 1965 Volkswagen bug packed to the hilt and we didn’t care!
The fabulous feeling of just being ‘free’ and on the road (with just us) took away any physical constriction we may have experienced in such tight quarters.
One of our first stops was to experience the redwood trees in Northern California. I will always remember stepping on that clear well-trodden path winding through the redwoods. The ancient, wise energy of these majestic, colossal trees filled the air with a sacred palpable presence.
The trees drew me in, and I moved closer. Tears streamed down as I stood for I don’t know how long – feeling a warmth and awe saturate my heart and every cell of my being wrapping me in the embrace of those magnificent redwoods.
I listened in deep silence to the voice of their primordial wisdom speak of strength, endurance, gentleness and grounded aliveness.
I walked in indescribable beauty that day.
Trees call us, birds sing to us, flowers brighten the world for us and delight our being with the sweetest fragrance. Warm, crisp or breezy the air fills our lungs with breath; the rivers, ocean, and water whether moving with the current or placidly still, all matchthe rhythm of our soul and purify us clean. Stars shimmer like diamonds and the sands of the sea cushion our step.
There’s infinite Love inside and outside – everywhere we are in this moment of NOW.
wishing many now moments dancing in Love.
loving you,
Theresa
One Love
Love is as the air – always here and goes on and on forever.
Know that Love breathes us, gives the stars light and makes the sunrise, holds the ocean and your tears and opens every bud.
** someone left this ‘Sign of Love’ – a heart with the infinity sign inside, on the chalkboard at Morning Glory Restaurant in Eugene, Oregon. I loved the reminder – there is just ‘one love’ – always here, always the same for each and every one of us, no matter who we are, where we are, where we’ve been, what we’ve done – Love still breathes you, me, the one you’re next to and the homeless one on the street.
loving you,
Theresa

** a beautiful smooth, shiny heart rock in the heart of Texas…resting against an antique picture of grandparents holding children, who are now grandparents! Love is truly our greatest inheritance.

Love always shines through the shadows.

Love makes our heart Light as a feather and Light as the sun.

Language of Love (remarkable story)
The Language of Love is always understood.
Speak fluently today by being loving wherever you are. (remarkable story- scroll down)
It was time to leave the beautiful beaches on the Mexico coast and fly to Mexico City to catch our return flight back to the states. This time, I would be relaxed and organized arriving at the airport well ahead of time!
We carried our suitcases to the ticket counter, checked in, then headed up to the terminal gate where we found a couple empty seats, sat down and took a deep breath. We enjoyed a wonderful time there, and yet – there’s no place like home, so we were eager to return.
Things changed all at once. Our plane had technical difficulties and would not be leaving until the wee hours of the morning. The airline kindly put us up for the night in a fabulous hotel, comped us an amazing dinner and delicious breakfast and we flew out the next day.
After landing in Mexico City we walked to the lush reception area where you wait to be shuttled to your hotel. Sitting there was a beautiful lady beaming with positive energy – I couldn’t help but be drawn to her, so sat down right next to her.
We started talking – as best we could, neither of us knowing how to speak each others language except for a few words. We would make hand gestures, laugh and most of all – it was the language of the heart we spoke. The language of Love is always understood.
We connected and communicated in the most amazing way – I think the whole airport was vibrating with our joy! Just as we were about to leave, this lovely lady reached up to her ear. Her earring was a sparkling golden heart with crushed diamonds along the edges. In one touching moment, she unhooked both earrings from her ears and gently placed them on mine.
Yes, the language of Love – the whole world understands.

Love parts the clouds
Love will part the clouds and let the Light in – so we can see what’s true.
Look for Signs of Love today.
** This was a cloudy, sunny day in Oregon on a hike with our son as we trekked a beautiful mountain trail together. The clouds parted and smiled a Sign of Love.
loving you,
Theresa
