An Open Heart

Have you ever felt as though your heart is opening up?

Many of us -due to past hurt or loss- have closed off our hearts to love and let fear guide our interactions with people. While justified by the world and many of the people in it...it is in my opinion that this closing off, is a very tragic disconnect from our highest self.

I am just now starting to understand love's full potential and the power that it carries. While romantic love can be part of it, what I really mean is Love in general.

I personally have put up many barriers around my heart without even being aware of it. I became aware when I started to value myself and who I am, when I started to see the value in other people, and when I started to have the desire to share who I am with other human beings.

I have barely tapped the surface, I am sure, of Love's potential...but I can honestly say, that I am overwhelmed and in awe of what I am capable of feeling today. I have an immense amount of gratitude for the people that have been placed in my life to guide me and counsel me. It would have been much, much, slower going without them.

Open your heart. All you have to loose is the nothing you feel.
