Real, unconditional love...


I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.

-         Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Is there anything better than real, unconditional love?  The kind of love where you don’t feel judged and you are free to be your true, authentic self.  The kind of love that is safe in that you can show your flaws and know they’ll be embraced.  The kind of love that gives without wanting anything back.  The kind of love that shows true compassion and is loyal and real.  The kind of love that shows appreciation and is honored to receive your real, unconditional love back.

Whether we receive real, unconditional love from our family, our spouse or partner or our friends, it is a gift worth treasuring.  It is a gift worth nurturing and paying attention to.

Real love, sadly, is rare.  But when you find it, grab it with both hands and hold onto it with all your heart.

Oh man, that’s the good stuff.  Never let it go.

Be Love.  Embrace Love.  Choose Love.
