\"hand<\/a>What is your truth about love? Is your love conditional, I\u2019ll love you as long as you act in certain ways? Are you expanding your definition about love? How are you doing with love? Do you have enough love? Do you keep your cup full to overflowing, at all times so you have plenty of love to share? How are you doing with your 40 days to love<\/a>?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Keeping your cup full<\/h3>\n

It is hard to love others when we don\u2019t really love ourselves. One of my spiritual mentors once told me to never share of myself. When he said that I was very shocked because he was one of the most generous people I knew. He saw the look on my face and went on to explain you never give of your essence you only give of your overflow. Make sure you have a profound spiritual connection and use that to keep your cup full, then give of the overflow.<\/p>\n

Angels are always connected to the source of absolute love, the divine. They see only love because their cups are full of love, only pure, unconditional love. They are god\u2019s messengers. They know only love so that is all they ever share. People love angels and are so fascinated by them because of the love. Imagine how your life would change if you saw life only through the eyes of love!<\/p>\n

Learning to feed yourself only love<\/h3>\n

The key to a happy and successful life is having a profound and palpable connection to your spirit, to that sea of love we live, eat and breath in yet so frequently ignore. Life is so sensually inviting we often forget to connect with that peaceful, still place that lives within us all.<\/p>\n

Set aside a few minutes each day to connect with the love. I suggest you create bookends<\/a>, something you do every morning and each evening to remember the love. Later this week I will post some simple directions for meditation, a must if you really want to connect with the angelic realms.<\/p>\n

Living in heaven or hell \u2013 it depends on our thoughts not out there<\/h3>\n

The world is and then we tell ourselves a story depending on that story we get to live in heaven or hell. We can still live in the garden as long as we focus on the love. A wonderful practice is to make lists of positive attributes, all the good things you can say about anything or anyone that upsets you. It takes discipline to see it that way but that is the key to living in heaven. Judgment always leaves us in hell.<\/p>\n

The truth about love \u2013 it is always a thought way<\/h3>\n

So think that thought now. Practice releasing your judgments and choosing love, thought by thought. Let go of your opinions and allow yourself to see all of life through the eyes of the angels.<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n
