My Affirmations for Love

This month I am starting something new in my life - an experiment in "Love". A few years back I read a book about creating the environment you want to have in the present, so you're both living in what you want, while at the same time creating an environment to invite more of it to come into your life. Lets' face it, if you're a negative person, love, or anything else for that matter, will not come into your life easily or magnificently. Been there done that.

From years of seeking and working at having wonderful things come in my life I know there's a better way. I know because I've done it in the past with: money (I have my dream job & it pays well); major academic issues (they were quickly resolved to my satisfaction); debt (I finally settled a huge debt w/the IRS to my satisfaction); and issues with my ex (he's now willing to sign on the dotted line letting go of money demands).

Soooooo... I'm now ready to use the same tools and thinking to invite love into my life. I'm affirming and inviting all kinds of love; from self, familial and filial love, to strong, positive, and passionate love so my future love, will enter my life.

This post will stay at the top through the end of the year so I can visit easily to: read, visualize, pray and meditate over these affirmations so all kinds of great love will enter my life and stay. At the end of the year I will write about the journey and the love I experienced along the way. In the meantime, I share my affirmations for love with everyone so that you too can experience the joy of loving and being loved... so be it!

• I am a beautiful! I am a beautiful creation of God's love.


• Everyone gets to see the beauty I possess within, and see the beauty I display outside of me.


• I lovingly accept myself and my life.


• I bask in God's unconditional love.


• I am a radiating center of divine love.
• My family feels the divine love within me and relates to me from their same place.
• I am lovingly preparing myself for the wonderful man of my dreams and God's choosing.
• I attract good, caring, fun & spiritual people into my life.
• This is a magical loved-filled month for me.

Walking in Love

Loving Thoughts Are Everywhere

You Warm My Heart Originally uploaded by Hvnly

I came across this photo over at flickr, and it made me think how all I wanted to do all day was to take 15 or 20 min to sit in a cafe do my affirmations, visualizations and prayers. Unfortunately, I was too busy to do them until I got on the LIRR on my way to make a shiva call.

It's been very busy at work and in my life lately. On a gray, misty cold November day like today I would have loved nothing more that to just sit and slowly sip my cap at my favorite italian cafe, looking for inspiration for love in the booths around me. Instead I found the inspiration during my shiva call. If you stop long enough to look around you, you will see love everywhere.

Sealed with a Kiss

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves" ~ Victor Hugo

Congratulations Chris! May you have many years of bliss together!

First Kiss

“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.”
~ Emil Ludwig
