Open to Love
Love does not find you, nor do you find love. Love is ever present…When you are willing to open, to risk, to adventure, to live with authenticity, then the power of Love flows through you and creates light. ~ Julie Parker
Are you willing to open and allow love?
~
love is a whisper in the wind
the fragrance of a rose
the joy of a baby
~
do nothing but open
open your eyes
open your mind
open your heart
~
love will flow freely
as sure as the sun shines
and the moon rises
open and allow love
~
Julie Parker’s beautiful reminder sounds like something from Rumi or Kahlil Gibran, or even me when I open to love. 🙂 I’m ready to allow more love in my life. How about you?
wonderful, love and a rose, what’s more beautiful

This is a beautiful poem Brad – and hold sentiments that I intend to carry throughout 2017 (at least that is the goal!). “do nothing but open, open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart”
My guess is that if one does this in every facet of life, then both our professional and personal side of life will bloom as your photos shows and perhaps most importantly become harmonious with each other. Cheers to a year ahead that offers opportunities, love and life like no other has before. 🙂 I am an optimist 🙂
Take care!

It’s sometimes so difficult, when you want something so badly, to force its existence in your life. There are times to be aggressive in the pursuit of your objectives and then there are times when it’s best to realize that what you need is all around you. Thank you for the beautiful reminder!
