The Red Love Day

I don't think you'll be surprised to discover that at the Bliss Blogs we are not so big on strategically marketed, commercialized love. First off, there are way too many pseudo romantic, and ultimately corny expectations for Valentine's day. With conditioning, many of us get caught up in the hype of the red love day. Not that love, romance, roses, chocolate, and heartfelt expressions aren't delicious. The Bliss Blogs would be absolutely moronic in saying that gifts aren't the icing on your Red Velvet Cake.

However, what's up for discussion is not the concept of Valentine's day but the knowing of love and its tremendous power. It's power to transform, cure, expand, rejoice, sizzle, and to totally fix what's broken. Yes! Love is the cure all for whatever is ailing you in your life; not the pull of your emotional purse strings. Honestly, this is the kind of love that can't possibly be honored in the time capsule of February the 14th. This kind of love is timeless and universal and it all begins with you.

Do you know love? This love is not a narcisstic, all-about-me, and I'd better get type of love. This is the type of love where you blissfully enjoy your own company while in a relationship. Where if your'e not in a relationship you know that "Mr. Right for you" is on his way. Where you get lost in the passion of your own creativity of writing, cooking, performing, singing, dancing, healing, painting, or the many endless expression's of Divinely given talent. It's when you know that you have the power of the universe replicated inside of your heart.

Connecting with you bliss is key in loving your fabulousness. And simply put, loving begins with you. There's no other way around it. The sooner you connect with this truth the happier you will be on the red day of love and forward. The Love that I'm talking about here is a passion in being alive, in feeling worthy and in loving your imperfections. This love loses grudges and honors forgiveness. This love is eternal, alive, burning, and it's kicking like a mule to get you to honor it.

Your love is more about an attitude adjustment and a commitment to internal growth. All forms of media will tell you to buy yourself flowers, or marry yourself, or to take yourself out to dinner alone. Esoteric, but it doesn't quite scratch the surface. You've got to get messy and deep down to what's real for you. It's about growing into the feeling of your inherit worthiness. I guarantee you that this love will fill you up in ways that you've never imagined.

Loving yourself begins with truth and forgiveness. Forgiveness of yourself and others. Committ to telling yourself the truth at all times and you will forever be connected to love.

Now eat the dern Red Velvet Cake.
