This morning I woke up, lit a special candle, and sat in the dark in my cozy chair in my onesie with my dogs and my coffee. I stared at the candle and pondered how I want to fuel myself today.  I physically fuel my body with clean fuel.  What kind of fuel am I running on emotionally?

I decided I want to fuel my day with love.  Mmm.  Big sigh.  That realization made me feel relaxed.  What does doing everything from the fuel of love today look like?

It looks like me not being in a rush; taking care with tasks and doing them thoughtfully.  It looks like having  softness with my clients, these beautiful fellow human beings with a human brain just like mine.  It looks like releasing the desire to be and do everything perfectly...perhaps even purposely undotting some i's and uncrossing some t's.  It looks like me leisurely enjoying this time I've set aside to write.

In the second half of my day, it looks like me warmly greeting my kids and partner and being sincerely glad to see them after we come together from our day apart.  Love looks like me listening intently with genuine interest to both myself and my family.  Love looks like me fueling myself with love of myself so that I can swim in the abundance of my love for others.  Love looks like me relaxing on purpose this evening and releasing the need to find busywork.

I love that I get to decide daily what to fuel myself with; I get to decide daily how I get to feel.

I choose love today.

Until next time,
