“Love is the only shocking act left on the Planet” - Valentine’s Day, the movie🌎❤️
Just because someone doesn’t show you their love the way you need or want to be loved doesn’t mean they don’t love you.
What’s YOUR love language? 💕🤗💍🎖👩‍❤️‍👨
The Five Love Languages book is an oldy but goody.
It one of the first books we read when we got married and started the journey of learning about and loving each other.
Part of self- growth and evolving as a human is learning how you and others need to be loved.
What’s your love language🔥?

This statement resonates with me now, more than ever.

After losing my grandmother recently, I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be present. I still think of her daily and forget she’s gone, and catch myself thinking I want to call her to catch up, or stop by to see how she is doing.

In our digital cyber- world that revolves around distraction, being present for yourself as well as others is rare these days, yet it’s the only way to have a real relationship.

As my father said many years ago, Love is spelled TIME. ❤️

That hasn’t changed; if anything, it has become more relevant. 💥

When you are gifted the present of being in someone else’s presence who is choosing to give you their time as well, recognize and appreciate it for the gift that it is. 🎁

I recently read a quote that said, “ You become the master of your life when you learn how to control where your attention goes”. Where are you currently spending your time and your energy? Do you have a daily practice that allows for breathing, feeling, introspection and growth? Even 5 minutes a day can change your life. What’s holding you back? You are worth it! 👊🏼🙌🏻✨

The past year has given all of us an opportunity to build stamina and resilience, whether we wanted that opportunity or not! We build resilience 👊🏼by showing up daily for ourselves and setting ourselves up for success through repeated positive habits like meditation, journaling, exercising and other positive personal work. When we don’t do the work, we fall back into our reactive selves which is NOT what we want! 🙄Keep on building that stamina and watch what miracles unfold in your life! 🙌🏻🦋❤️✨

What a powerful statement . Many of us put aside self-care in 2020 to care for others instead of ourselves. This felt (and potentially was), necessary in many cases. My self-care was not completely abandoned, but definitely was not the focus of my year. When I read that others LEARN how to treat us, that means we are allowing it and not setting a necessary boundary. We are not using our voice. It also means that they can UNLEARN how to treat us just as we can UNLEARN how to treat ourselves. Whatever side of this equation you are on, chose to do the work in 2021. We need self- care more than ever now. The outcome in your life and those around you will be astonishing. ❤️🦋🙌🏻✨
Love and light, Gabrielle
