How to Love | 
pickI can see myself coming back to this one again and again. As soon as I finished, I started it again to highlight and take notes. I'm evaluating my beliefs, and realized neither myself or my spouse were instructed or even understood how to love. This emphasizes self-love and being at home and at peace within your own body and mind. Something I've made progress towards, but realize there is much still to do!

Happy Valentine‘s Day to you all!
This is a short guide with brief meditations on love. The “Hugging Meditation” is my favorite!
I was sorry to learn of Thich Nhat Hahn‘s passing today. I had just ordered this book yesterday, as I‘m new to his work and I‘m looking forward to learning from his experience as a peace activist, Buddhist monk, and interfaith leader.
Giving it another go this morning - have my cranberry apple tea and some Thich Nhat Hanh to start off #24in48 #24in48readathon #daytwo
Getting super restless, so switching to a new sun drenched location and totally different format than a novel #24in48 #24in48readathon @24in48
This date is always filled with such mixed emotions. My oldest brother's birthday - and he always LOVED to celebrate any occasion. Unfortunately, it will be 5 years tomorrow since he died suddenly. Eating all my feelings with these cupcakes and reading a few pages of How to Love. I'm 100% sure Thich Nhat Hahn would not endorse the 'eat your feelings' philosophy, but I'm only human. #emotionoverload
It's about the heart. So #heartshapedbox???

pick"Be a friend to yourself. If you are a true friend to yourself you can be a true friend to a loved one."

"As long as we are rejecting ourselves and causing harm to our bodies and minds, there's no point in talking about loving and accepting others. With mindfulness, we can recognize our habitual ways of thinking and the contents of our thoughts."
pickSuch a great series of books. I like the way deep thoughts are simplified. Hugging Meditation 💕
"If we set aside time each day to be in a peaceful environment, to walk in nature, or even just to look at a flower or the sky, then that beauty will penetrate us and feed our love and our joy."

💕🌻second day sick in bed 🤒 but getting a little reading done. Hope everyone is doing well! 💜
Well, my vacation is off to a bad start as I'm still feeling very sick but at least today I can lay down with my kitties and my books and some hot chocolate, so that's actually a good start! 😊😸☕️
"Everything needs food to live, even love. If we don't know how to nourish our love, it withers. When we feed and support our own happiness, we are nourishing our ability to love. That's why to love means to learn the art of nourishing our happiness"
My next read! And my last day going to work, tomorrow my vacation finally starts! Woke up sick with a nasty cold :( but have my tea and my book to brave the day!
Hope everyone is doing well! ??
pickBeautiful and thoughtful offerings of mindful love advice. This is what the characters from the last book I read (The Hopefuls) need to read!
