Love can hurt the heart so profoundly that it becomes so palpable that you can touch the blood that the valves carry it.  You can feel the heart beating and thumping inside your thoracic cavity as though the heart is twenty sizes bigger and heavier than it actually is...

When love is reciprocated, the heart is light and jovial.  The heart actually makes you feel like you are flying and soaring high above the highest mountaintop.  You feel invincible and free and you feel that the possibilities are endless.  When love is reciprocated, there are no impossibilities and there are no limits.  

Why does an organ in our thoracic cavity that oxygenates our blood and pumps back into our bodies so that it carries through with our other vital life functions - also responsible for feeling invincible and also heartache.  

Heartache is not even a close description - it's more like heart anguish.  

How do we get over an emotional heart attack such as a heart break, only to recover and be soaring to the moon again with another love?

The heart is resilient and has a tremendous capacity for love.  It's stores for love are abundant.  Even when we feel an emotional heart attack, we dip into our love reserves and make withdrawals.  It doesn't matter how much we take out from our reserves, because as we love more and more it continues to make deposits back into the reserves again, ten-fold.  

How many times in a lifetime are we allowed to take withdrawals from our love deposits?  Is it an infinite amount of times?

Why does our heart hurt more when someone interferes with our ability to love?  Is it like putting a kink in an oxygen tube when we need it to breathe?  

Faith and the belief in God is the everlasting life force that allows our heart to continue its resiliency.    As long as we love our loved ones, they will continue to love us, but only when we have an undying faith in God.  

If you don't have the capacity to love and believe in God, then how can you expect anyone to love and believe in you fully?

Never stop.
Never stop.  
 Always Love.  
Always Love.

Staying in the mOMent...

Staying in the moment and being grateful isn't always an easy thing to do.  We get caught up in work, family dynamics, school, driving, and traveling.  We are constantly on the move and being lead into all sorts of directions, so how can we manage staying in the moment?  When we are being lead into different directions, we also have to plan for the future also.  Planning for a future event or time can create anxiety because the future is the unknown.  What do we know about the future?

The art of staying in the mOMent is to pause periodically through the day and catch up with yourself.   

Ask yourself: 
  •  "How are you doing RIGHT now?"
  • "Where are you right now?
  • What are you doing right now?
  • How are you feeling right now?
Breathing in a deep breath may seem like nothing at all because it is an involuntary process, but because it is an involuntary process it actually helps to take in a VOLUNTARY deep breath.  

On our lunch hour (or half hour as we now have them), or after work, or on our day off go for a quick walk to change the brain chemistry and the air in our lungs.  

Even when we go to the supermarket or to a mall, take a stroll around the parking lot or stop along the way at a lake or park and just take a breather from your routine.  

Adding this to your routine will help you live a more productive life and you will find that you can actually BREATHE a little easier.  Your stress level won't even feel as heavy.  

Try it, what do you have to lose -  Except stress and anxiety? 

Take a mOMMMMent and take back yourself!
