Love is for your enjoyment For many of us, we can remember a time in our life when our heart has been broken. Perhaps this involved a painful chapter (or chapters) when the act of loving someone had brought us a very deep painful experience. And those memories can keep us from returning to the idea of loving again. But the love within our “self” at a very deep level is always ready to love again.

One day like the next. With no real change happening. Living in a karmic rut of sorts. It starts out as our ego keeping our life “safe.” And certainly it can be for good reason, at least initially. For many of us, our karmic lessons started so early in our life that we had no choice but to choose survival. From the perspective of a child, often we observed the powerful emotions of adults wreaking havoc in our own household, which then…
