\"\"<\/a>“Mercedes, You are a beautiful and loving woman. I wish I could know you.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I really did not think much of this at first.\u00a0 While it was not the typical connection invitation it was quite lovely and respectful so I connected with this delicious gentleman.\u00a0 After\u00a0 few days I reached out and we had a wonderful, intellectual exchange.\u00a0 It was stimulating.\u00a0 He just wanted to be my friend.\u00a0 I could feel my Self glowing from the inside-out.\u00a0 I could almost physically feel the energetic pathways singing with glee.\u00a0 I AM Beautiful.\u00a0 I AM Lovely.<\/p>\n

Now I know that I should just KNOW this.\u00a0 Somehow it was different coming from a total stranger that I will probably never meet.\u00a0 So the question as it always is\u2026. How does this expand me? Grow me?\u00a0 I am wondering what if we as a collective group began to give ourselves the mutterings of love that we usually reserve for the most intimate of relationships.\u00a0 What if we could respectfully say\u2026 You are delicious!\u00a0 I love your sense of humor!\u00a0 My heart was singing!<\/p>\n

There is a point when we don\u2019t trust words of beauty coming from strangers.\u00a0 We may feel that they are creepy or smutty.\u00a0 Better safe than sorry!\u00a0 I have had some seemingly innocent introductions go very bad, very quickly.\u00a0 So maybe this exercise is not advised for your next social media connection.\u00a0 Take a friend who you adore. Someone that is in your safe zone and exchange smatterings of intimate love, lavish each upon him or her like you would spread grape jelly across your P&J sandwich. Light up your eyes and smile into her eyes, his eyes.\u00a0 Do this with a girlfriend, a favorite friend, your child.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a LOVE festival, flirt with the most important people in your life. Love each joyfully with unabashed pleasure.<\/p>\n

Energizing Love 365 Everyday in Every way!<\/p>\n

Be in Love Today!<\/p>\n
