HEART DIARY
Love can question
Love can stop you in your tracks and make you question.
Welcome what you don’t know today, and Look for Signs of Love.
** have you figured this photo out yet? This was a Sign of Love on a wet soggy day here in Eugene slithering along the sidewalk that stopped Carol Thompson in her tracks and question what on earth this was. It’s a worm that had formed a heart shape by wrapping itself around a little stick! You never know just what will show up as a Sign of Love in a day – and remind you to love, and know you are loved.
loving you,
Theresa
Loving all of you (remarkable story)
Here’s to loving all of YOU!
Because you are here, the world is more wondrous. (remarkable story- scroll down)

who lives and loves & loves and lives – check out her water project here.)
Yes, that color, shade, where it’s at, the shape of stroke, the blending and contrast –
the only you that there is, splashes your unique beauty in this amazing mural of life.
No one else can be who you are.
There are those with similar interests, gifts, talents and ideas, but no one wraps their gifts in the same colors and design as you, no one.
A harmonious choir blends many voices and a few parts, and although several sing the same part, no voice is exactly the same, and every voice makes the magnificence of the song.
If you’re like me, it’s so easy to get caught in an eddy of comparison thinking and spin in thoughts of ‘not enough’, forgetting that we are all here, individually being a unique expression of Love.
Because you are here – the world is more wondrous.
So why not play? How can you ever get anything wrong if there is nothing to compare? The perfection and expansion of you just is, which is uniquely spectacular.
Playing is such a ‘being in the moment’ experience of Love. It’s where imagination is all present and alive.
When our pretend granddaughter was little and stayed with us on frequent weekends, I loved to watch her play. There were no rules. She made up her world as she went, dancing, singing, cartwheels, tea parties, and creative conversations being completely joyous and preoccupied in every moment that was continually unfolding and expanding into something new.
Did you know your ‘play’ was always meant to be how you move and live in this amazing life?
Sometimes our fears and untrue beliefs captivate us and we look out from this prison, thinking this is where we are supposed to spend our lives.
Then we tend to notice others enjoying a magnificent life of freedom, and think – well, for some reason they were lucky enough to get to have a wonderful life.
And then when we’re really in the muck we entertain thoughts like…But, not us, we are here in prison and until the prison guard (something outside us) unlocks our cell, we’re in here for good. It’s such an untruth – and we know that.
We know deep down we are here to experience all that we desire.
And so we go inside ourselves and realize, contrary to where we might like to point, we are the ones who put ourselves in prison, and the cell is NOT locked.
Sending you a Universe of Love, courage and curiosity to check and see.
It’s simple and all that’s needed is for you to turn and open, even if it’s just a crack. Remember – a crack lets the light in.
Loving you,
Theresa
angels in the sky
Love just is. There’s no trying necessary. Relax and breathe it in.
Breath deeply and notice Signs of Love in life today.
There’s nothing like a big white heart cloud floating by to remind us…’Love is in the air’.
Breathe deep today, Love is your very breath.
**I looked out my office window just in time to see this cloud drift by – truly, I think clouds must be angels in the sky.
loving you,
Theresa
spectacular Colorado Love surprise

loving you,
Theresa

This is the heart Deonne Wright wrote about in yesterday’s story.
“This heart was formed by two trees coming together. Two trees our children had so enjoyed playing in, on and around, had lovingly wound themselves around each other during their growth through time.
They had formed a heart with their branches high up and above us, holding us all in their loving energy.”

Sign of Love at Texas Camp out – remarkable story
If we look – Love will mark our path.
Look for Signs of Love today. (scroll for remarkable story)
My son and his wife planned a camp out during Spring Break with another young family. The families are very close – my son with 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls), and the other family has 3 boys; the children are all of staggered ages.
As I had made plans to visit them during Spring Break, they did their best to accommodate my needs.
My son had a spare tent, and yet it had become a sacred tent as someone they loved had passed on and was the last person to stay in the tent.
For the last 5 years this tent remained unused tucked in a storage corner. This was the tent I was to stay in.
It seemed so fitting that we do a little ceremony honoring this precious person who last stayed in the tent and was no longer with us.
My son and I together paused for these special moments and closed in each other’s arms a warm loving embrace of each other.
If this moment of heart connection was the only experience over these few days, it would have filled me up to the brim, and yet this campout was filled with even more blessings.
My tent was set up in a triangle formation to both other families’ tents. The next morning I noticed this heart rock naturally laying on the earth that served as a beautiful stepping stone on the path between my tent and our friends’ tent.
It seemed like a message of love and gratitude, so I left it lying there in the path. It was a sweet reminder every time I walked there.
On our last day in the campsite, I kept having the feeling I was missing another Sign of Love, so I sat in the crook of a tree until it called to me loud enough that I could see it.
Two trees our children had so enjoyed playing in, on and around, had lovingly wound themselves around each other during their growth through time.
They had formed a heart with their branches high up and above us, holding us all in their loving energy.

fragrance of Love
Love is the sweet fragrance of surrender.
You can relax and open into Love, it’s where miracles are.
** Can you not savor the sweet fragrance of these freshly picked glorious lilacs that were randomly placed in a heart shape?! Not so random though – they were a Sign of Love waving at our daughter,Abby Gooch (www.lifeforceconnection.com) as she walked by an open market in La Jolla, California.
They made me so happy too! – lilacs are truly one of my favorite flowers, a sure sign of spring that colors the air with loveliness.
loving you,
Theresa
