HEART DIARY
our miracle (remarkable story)
Love is our miracle story- continually unfolding.
Look for Signs of Love – it opens our eyes to miracles (remarkable story- scroll down)
I hung up the phone, my knees weak and ready to buckle. I felt the lump in my throat, my was heart heavy and mind racing. My feet were moving me quickly out the door and down towards the river trail.
I knew it was my emotions that had taken me over from the conversation I had just had. The stories I was making up in my head were going rampant and needed to stop! – but how? If I could only talk to someone – but who?
Have you ever felt like this? – where the conversation on the other end of the phone left you feeling so helpless and afraid. Even if there weren’t miles between you and the loved one – it felt like their heart was miles from connecting with Love itself. You silently prayed for words that would breathe life and hope, and somehow be Light.
And then, when you do get off the phone, instead of trusting divinity, you are engulfed in a flood of thoughts on ‘how to fix’ and you feel yourself going down with all the untrue and exaggerated ‘what-if’ stories you just made up – that feel SO true and real!!
Yep! – that was me this day walking along the river, wondering who I could call that would understand and help me out of this torrent of unnecessary pain I couldn’t seem to untangle from.
I took the phone out of my pocket and held it thinking maybe a name would come to mind. In that instant, my phone rang.
Tears welled up in overwhelming gratitude when I saw who was calling – truly, the most welcomed ‘Sign of Love’ ever!
It was one of my dear soul-sisters from across the Pacific Ocean that I rarely connect with, and here she was calling me in this very moment.
Here’s what she said to me…(and if you’ve ever heard me say this to you – because I say it a lot), this is where it came from.
She said, Theresa – ‘this is a miracle story- and the miracle is still unfolding.’
She pointed out all the miracles she saw in the ‘story of the past’ that I had shared that day.
– She pointed out the miracle the loved one was already
– the miracle that this loved one actually came into this life courageously willing to take on these lessons
– she pointed out all the miraculous ways in which the loved one had navigated perfectly already
and she pointed out….‘the miracle is still unfolding’.
I hung up the phone with the deepest calm, hope and peaceful knowing, that the miracle I was witnessing, was just that – a miracle unfolding…
…and by appearances might look as though things were falling apart, but it was just a miracle unfolding and would one day completely unfold into something more wonderful than I could imagine and in ways I could never begin to orchestrate.
Today, I stand in awe of this miracle.
The greatest Signs of Love are many times the friends who remind you to trust, that point out the highest and greatest potential and know it to be so.
With all my grateful heart. I see you.
You are the miracle of Love, and you can trust this miracle – as life unfolds you.
loving you,
Theresa

ps – the photo is thousands of orchid blossoms by Debbie Jones each blossom blessed creating this beautiful Sign of Love -on the big island of Hawaii.
Love branches out
Love branches out and is inclusive
When we Look for Signs of Love – we notice our sameness is way more than our differences.
** On the big island of Hawaii, looking up through the branches of a tree at Moani Farms (www.hawaiianorchidsonline.com) there was this one heart, one of many Signs of Love there.

on the path we walk
Love meets us when life seems raw and rugged
Look for Signs of Love on your path today – and know you are loved.
** hiking in the mountains on a stony path near Eugene, Oregon, this rugged heart-shape stone was right in the middle. I had to look twice, but yes, this is a Sign of Love. Love is like that sometimes.
loving you,
Theresa
quadruple Love
Love expands and multiplies the joy of life.
Invest in the energy of Love – joy will return to you multiplied.

the solid rock
Love is rock solid – trust.
Trust Love today. Trust Love in yourself and Love in others when you see the Signs of Love.
**this heart rock sits in Lithia Park in Ashland, Oregon, one of my favorite spots on earth! We used to live there and nearly every morning I would walk this park along the river. It was a time when I couldn’t seem to believe I was Love – and so as I walked my mantra was – “I am Love, I am Loved’ – I am Love, I am Loved….”
through the song of the creek singing next to me and all of nature hugging me – my inner being silenced and Love poured in.
May you know that you are divine Love and you are divinely Loved – and that, that is the deepest knowing we need and could ever know.
loving you,
Theresa
Love and Look closer
Sometimes Love requires a closer look.
Move close and Look for signs of Love.
I was on my hands and knees cleaning the front entry of my in-law’s home, at first I thought this was a
‘heart spot’ that needed cleaned, but when I looked closer it was a little crack in the tile! Sometimes it takes ‘being on our knees’ to see Love in a situation, experience or person.
loving you,
Theresa

ps – I loved that there has always been this ‘Sign of Love’ meeting every one who enters this home. Even though they are selling, the Love stays!
You couldn’t be more perfect (remarkable story)
Love…the perfection of YOU!
Nurture with great Love all of you …and Look for Signs of Love (remarkable story-scroll down)
This morning I was gratefully noticing something so simply fundamental and right in every moment.
We are who we are, and who we are is perfect. The knowing of our perfection gets all cluttered when we compare ourselves to each other because in those moments we aren’t good enough in just about every way.
I don’t mean we go through life with this idea we are ‘perfect’ and so we stick to our ways, stay stuck in untrue beliefs and accept unbeneficial patterns as ‘just being the perfect us’. I mean, who we are is perfect, as in a perfect seed. The blueprint and life of what the seed is to become – is perfect.
You and I are that perfect -always have been and always will be.
Have you ever considered how much a seed changes from the time it is blanketed and nurtured in Mother Earth until it matures into full expression? In our perfection of who we are, we change that much.
More accurately said, we are the perfection and have the free will to choose to change that much in our lifetime.
My dad farms wheat, and even now in his late 80’s he still loves farming his wheat fields. I think what he loves most is the miracle of the seed he witnesses every year, the tiny seed that changes into beautiful heads of golden wheat each season.
He’s told me when the seed sprouts it will only grow downwards until it is deep enough to reach all the nourishment the plant will need, and then all life begins to grow upward towards the sun…it is the sun that gives life.
How many times have you seen a little flower in full bloom that grew through a tiny crack in asphalt? The perfection of the seed changed as it grew. As this seedling sought and reached for the Light of Life nearly everywhere it turned there was something impenetrable to stop its life, and yet this seedling found the crack where the Light had shown through, and it gracefully, quietly became its full expression.
I feel so grateful this morning that who I am is perfect, it’s as right as it could ever be and that changing so dramatically from a seed into the process of a maturing plant is as right and perfect as it could ever be.
I’m still me, and growing IS changing, changing everything really.
Change doesn’t need to scare me because change is me.
It’s the nature of perfection to grow changing inside, and then reaching and moving towards the Light of Life expressing outside.
In our process of growth and change, we just trust that what makes us feel ‘Light, brilliant, golden and bright’ is the way. And it is.
loving you,
Theresa

Naturally Love
Love blesses what we create
Come from Love in all you do – then Look for Signs of Love.
** some earth naturally landing in a heart shape on a ‘man-made’ sidewalk, blessing the work, the sidewalk and all who walk there.
May Love bless your life.

Love that rises above
Love seeds
Just Love today, and know you are seeding the hearts you touch -then Look for Signs of Love.
**the lotus flower seeded in muddy waters, rises above the mud and blooms into beautiful fragrant flowers.
These heart shaped pods are upside down and filled with seeds floating as they allow new seeds to take hold in the mud below the waters surface, and then in the spring give rise to new lotus plants. No matter how muddy our life is, our past was – Love always takes hold, germinates and one day we gloriously bloom. (Love is the only thing that can make that happen)
loving you,
Theresa
Love’s print
Love sometimes speaks through our tears
Be still and know you are Love.
**sometimes when it rains it seems the clouds are weeping and the heart shape puddles are Signs of Love that remain.
This Sign of Love our daughter and I ran across while walking down the sidewalk after a flurried rain storm. Reminds me of a youtube by Richard Moss that I loved – “Tears of Recognition – one way our soul speaks to us.”
loving you,
Theresa
