The Energy of Love

I worked long and hard, and it really turned out nice. I should sew a little more often because I get a lot of satisfaction when all is said and done. This time I was making a tiny little outfit for my new grandson, Nolan, who was being blessed at church today.

There's something to be said about the energy of love. We live in a busy world where everything is going at break-neck speed, and sometimes we forget to slow down and put some love into life. I was reading in the Harmony Earth Energy Diet about how food has a consciousness, and when we prepare our food with love it has a different vibration than something prepared in a factory or quickly thrown into the microwave.

As I sat at my sewing table for the second day straight while stitching tiny little sleeves onto a miniature bodice, I found myself thinking very briefly, "It would be so much easier to just buy one of these!" I then recalled the thoughts I had recently read and realized that this was a gift that truly carried the energy of love. Grandmother love.

As I dressed little Nolan before the church service, I knew he felt loved. Yes, he's little. Too little to say, "Nana, do you love me?" However, I am certain he knows the vibration of love, and he was surrounded in it today, not only because of all of the supportive friends and relatives that came to witness his blessing, but also because the cozy soft suit enveloping him vibrated with love and devotion.

I want to take more time to weave the energy of love into my life. I'm not saying that everything must be handmade or it doesn't count. I'm done with that phase and I enjoy choosing things off the rack, shelf, and menu now and again. I am saying that I want to be more conscious of my daily acts. I want to prepare food that carries the energy of love and gratitude. I want to purchase simple things that deliver love and meaning. And I want to slow down and be more considerate of what's coming my way that vibrates love from others and from my God.

It might be easy at this busy season to forget what I'm really after. But this year I choose to be more conscious and focus on the message I'm wishing to send, and the meaning I can choose to receive. That's what feels like joy to me!

InJoy,
Cristi
