Where ever we are, let’s love each other and ourselves – when we love without conditions, it’s pure love.
Where we/they are is perfect, it’s the step needed before the next step forward.
limbed and loved
Gently trim what’s not working –
Love Remains.
Look for Signs of Love.

from mind to heart – (remarkable story)
Love returns us to our heart.
Look for Signs of Love today, basking in presence.
I was having a challenging week.
I was really close to completing a book I’d been writing for several years and it was stressing me out.
Since it’s all about Feminine Soul and connection to Spirit in our day-to-day lives, the process was really putting me through my paces at the moment. (Other times, it was totally glorious).
So I took myself on retreat, returning to a place that brought me a lot of clarity and solace.
I was battling fears about getting this book, The Magdalene Path, out in the world. Birthing pains. I went for a long walk along the river, pondering these challenges that were thorns in my side.
One insight led to another as I moved through the sultry summer forest, looking for a private swimming hole to contemplate my dilemmas.
As I turned a bend I came to a massive rock outcropping, a perfect sun-drenched spot. I was starting to feel clear and at peace.
As I scrambled up the stone, I came upon this heart rock, a sign for me, of love and hope. My heart was full of joy and tears at this lovely message from Spirit, letting me know I was on the right track. And that all was well.
I smiled noticing a canine tooth was carefully placed with it. This seemed like no accident and further blessing and acknowledgement.
It too seemed like a wink from my beloved white wolf hybrid, Aiko, who had lived and loved this place once also. I spent the rest of that day basking in the summer sun, letting the river wash over me and my concerns as the rest ofmy inner world was clicking into place.

** I spontaneously snapped this photo when I saw the big blue heart in the sky. When I looked at this photo later I spotted 4 hearts…and if I use my imagination a tad – I see 5!! Theresa Gooch – www.lookforsignsoflove.com

silent tones of Love
Be in your heart today.

***this sign of love was another unexpected surprise! – I was simply opening up an envelope, and the paper naturally tore at precisely the right places to create this fun heart! Theresa Gooch – www.lookforsignsoflove.com
in shadowy times-a remarkable story
Love is still here – even in the shadows of our life.
Look for Signs of love today.
It’s Friday, late afternoon and I’m in the fast lane bumper to bumper, cars hugging the sides.
My eyes glance over the desolate rolling hills of Central California. The ‘beigie’ shades seem dull and I wonder how a Sign of Love could ever show up here.
Maybe my belief that there are Signs of Love everywhere, isn’t true after all.
The sun is starting to set coloring the sky the slightest pink, and shadows begin to creep across those mounds of scared earth.
The shadows paint new designs over the hills and the beauty of nature infiltrates my being.
I glance to the right between speeding cars and to my amazement in the valley of two hills a ‘heart’ catches my eye.
It was the biggest, perfectly exquisite heart. The shadows had formed a Sign of Love that I dared to doubt would ever exist here.
Desperately, I wanted to snap this photo, and there was no chance speeding down the freeway.
I could only snap this image in the memory of my mind and hope I could in words send a portrait to you.
You know, sometimes in our life – it feels desolate, colorless, not even hopeful – and we think we could never be loved here.
Or that we could possibly love without conditions in this spot -and that signs of Love just don’t exist here.
Signs of Love are everywhere – even in those times.
May a Sign of Love grace your path,
no matter where you are.
loving you,
Theresa
