Living Love in the Heart of Every Day

Love isn’t just a feeling—it's something we live. It’s practiced in our words, thoughts, actions, choices, interactions, and relationships every-single-day. When we begin to treat love as a way of “BEING”, life itself becomes more sacred. More connected. More intentional. More meaningful. The real magic of love happens when we invite it into our ordinary moments—when it becomes the steady heartbeat of our daily lives moment by moment by moment.  So, how do we live love every day? 

Love starts with presence

In a world constantly pushing us to rush, move faster, and do more, being present is a radical act of love. Whether you're sharing coffee with a partner, walking the dog, or chatting with a coworker, showing up fully and making time for meaningful conversations without distractions sends a powerful message: You matter. This moment matters. 

Acts of love 

Love lives in the small things. Holding the door. Saying “thank you.” Offering a sincere compliment. These gestures remind us we are seen, valued, and cared for. Small acts of love build trust, soften hearts, and create connection. They are the bricks to build loving relationships and loving communities that ripple to a more loving world. 

Love is a choice 

It’s not always easy or effortless. Some days, love looks like patience when you’re tired and permission to rest. Other times, it’s listening to understand and hearing a friend's heart not just the words or offering kindness even when it's hard. Love is choosing to show up with care—again and again. 

Love begins within

Bringing love into the world begins with how you treat yourself. Speaking gently. Being patient with your process. Honoring your needs. Appreciating how far you have come. Offering yourself the same compassion you would a friend.  When you care for yourself with love, it naturally overflows into how we care for others. 

Prayer of love 

At any moment we hold the ability to pause, breathe, and reach beyond ourselves —calling on the infinite source and spirit of love that surrounds and fills all things. This love is always present, available, and deeply personal. A prayer of love isn’t always spoken aloud. Sometimes it's a silent whisper of the heart, a longing for peace, or a tear that carries the weight of something unspoken. In the space of prayer, we are not alone, we are held in comfort by a greater love.
