** it’s a wood chip on the playground, Carol Thompson noticed as her granddaughter was playing, swirling and twirling on the chips. There in the mix was this Sign of Love for everyone – wonder how many noticed? Love is always here -always. Have you noticed?
loving you,
Theresa
It’s a whole heart!
Love is our whole heart
Love is what breathes you – heals you – and makes you know
you are whole
** Sitting next to one of my amazing girlfriends, talking about heart things all from our heart – and I spotted this little ‘whole’ in the shape of a heart in the rock ahead of us. I’m just as taken with what looks like colorful gemstones sparkling in the water below this unassuming Sign of Love. Love has that influence too.
loving you,
Theresa
Love in black and white
Love creates the perfect balance in everything
Love balances the need to ‘be right’ with the desire to ‘be kind’ instead
**Photo by Adriana Oliveira Minelli – called the yin and yang of Love. Even when our differences seem so ‘black and white’ – the truth is, we are so much more the same than
different, and our contrast is beautiful when none of our differences matter and we love each other with all our hearts.
loving you,
Theresa
wood you choose Love here?
If in doubt, choose what is loving

** it is a heart craved in an old wooden log we found on a hike at Sahalie Falls, Oregon.

Love in a nutshell (remarkable story)
Is it possible that Love is contained in a nutshell?
Look for Signs of Love here. (remarkable story- scroll down)
My phone sounded the familiar ring of someone somewhere that had something to tell or show me. Hurriedly I glanced at the phone screen, and then stopped short.
‘Love in a nutshell’, I thought staring at this perfect heart inside a walnut shell. How could Love ever be contained in a nutshell? That would mean a few simple words – how could that be possible?
A few simple words that are the essence of life, the deep indwelling peace inside us and yet the forever-expanding, eternal breath of all that is.
The filling-up of Love that pours through our thoughts and makes us to see only beauty, hear only truth (not what appears to be) and feel the fullness of just being one with our very breath.
This indescribable Love…. that is NOT what we imagine we need to ‘try and get’, or ‘be good and outstanding enough’ to be offered us, or to ‘do enough’ things right to have bestowed upon us.
It is Love – Love that we already have, already are. When we are aware and inside this Love, we are tender. We see softly, speak gently, time stands still as we reverently hold life and take in it’s sweet fragrance. and we are all of this to ourselves.
Ah, and how could Love ever be contained in a nutshell?….and then I knew.
The nutshell is the seed.
Love is the seed of life.
All of life is contained in the seed, what it is – what it is to become. And it is good.
Love cannot be contained,
but it’s meaning can be contained in the life of a seed.
The seed lets-go and begins to transform in the dark of the soil. The place where nothing makes sense except the knowing Light is above and a calling to grow upward and follow light. Love does that too.
And as Love does – the seed grows and transforms again and again. Moving, expanding, changing and blossoms into multitudes of leaves and often buds that soon bloom and touch our hearts, eyes and senses with delicious beauty.
As Love is – the seed has become…the largeness of life
As Love always will be – the seed seeds itself back in the earth again and again, and grows and grows for eternity.
You are life, you are Love – you are worthy of all the abundance of life, the richness, glory and beauty of all that is.
Stand still and stand tall today – listen with all your heart, and know …
that you –
You are Life and You are Love.
loving you,
Theresa

**3 coral hearts along the path that Debbie Jones (www.debbiejones.org / OM Blossoms) walked on her morning meditation stroll in Hawaii. These 3 Signs of Love that symbolized and said …’I see you, I hear you – there’s angels surrounding you right now, all is well, you have nothing to fear.”

Love impresses our heart, thoughts and way of being
Signs of Love are deep impressions made through our lifetime of experiences that have taught us the depths of eternal Love
** photo from Jeanette Philips, Eugene, Oregon – here’s what she says about this amazing fossil she found on the beach. “…once a clam, found at a very low tide in winter. This old clam has been through so much over time, maybe eons, to inspire us to never give up.”
loving you,
Theresa
