Tears of love, of compassion, of joy, of being in the presence of the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>When we speak love from our heart there is always truth. When we practice loving, active compassion we can always find words that expand, help and heal. We can look at another and sincerely offer a compliment. We can see their gift, that little spark of God and comment about it. That is the essence of a true compliment. <!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Random acts of kindness<\/h3>\n<p>We are closing in on the final weeks of <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2011\/03\/40-days-to-love.html\">40 days to love<\/a>.

Her greatest passion is showing others how they can be happy, no matter what is going on in their lives or in the world around them. This passion has resulted in her creating a podcast, \"Food for the Soul,\" and numerous video meditations. Susan's spiritual journeys have also taken her around the world with students she teaches. Currently, she lives on the beautiful island of Hawaii where she is an avid gardener, hiker, and writer. She often spends time playing with the numerous four-legged friends she's rescued or swimming with the turtles and wild dolphins.
