LOVE IS ALL AND WE ARE THE PIECES. Life and Love, some say life is love and others say love is life … to be capable to give and receive love

A HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS. Emily Dickinson originally wrote the words in a letter attempting to console a friend whose husband was going to be gone for some time. The tone of the letter, however, suggests there is no consolation, as of course he will be missed incredibly.

In the letter she writes, “not to see what we love, is very terrible - and talking - doesn’t ease it - and nothing does - but just itself.” The quote indicates that no amount of thought can overcome the longing that the emotion of love creates.

Ever met an eternal optimist? These individuals seek out the good in many of life’s seemingly difficult situations. Although you may not think of yourself as an optimist, the good news is that anyone can become more optimistic and positive in their thought lives. Optimists are choosing to find the joy, the positive, the silver-lining in their lives by seeking out hope in dark places. If this sounds overwhelming to you, consider a quick way to start seeing things in a new light by doing a gratitude roundup. Try starting each and every day with a short list of things you are grateful for….

Setting Boundaries

In toxic or dysfunctional relationships, be intentional about setting a healthy boundary and sticking to it. Listen to your gut instinct on this one – if you have a relationship in your life that you know is causing extreme stress or anxiety, it’s time to rethink how much time you’re allowing yourself to spend in this relationship. This could mean limiting time, calls or texting with someone who does not have your best interest at heart.
