No matter which spiritual tradition we embrace, each of us can interact with others with patience, generosity, and kindness. It takes very little effort to do so—simply hold the intention with an open heart. Mother Teresa acknowledged this when she said, "We can do no great things, only small things with great love."
A legacy of love, like hers, is one worth leaving—one loving gesture at a time. ©2024, Janice L. Lundy

The older we get the more we may realize that not much in life matters if we don't have love. Love of family and friends. Love of work and creative expression. Love of the Earth and her bounty. Love of growth and the opportunity to be all that we can be. But in order to receive this love, we must have an open heart. We must be able to fully give love, too.
Today let us re-dedicate ourselves to living with wide-open hearts as best we can; to not shut down or close off to others; to not judge or discriminate or neglect. Let us extend ourselves to others as best we can. Let us live with unconditional friendliness toward all beings, both animal and human. Let us we be kind. This is a life worth living, one rooted in love. ©2023, Janice L. Lundy |
Gentle and timely reminders for the spiritual journey, because sometimes we forget or need a kind nudge back to Center.
