Valentine’s Day, often February 14th, is the culmination of an entire week devoted to love in many parts of the world. Imagine spending a whole week focused on showing your love to those you care about! Imagine continuing that practice every single week for the rest of your life? What do you imagine your life and your relationships would be like?
IMAGINE LOVE EVERYWHERE ALWAYS
The Beatles Understood The Healing Potential of Love
Poets Reveal
The Agony And The Ecstasy Of Love
“Darkness may hide the trees
and the flowers from the eyes
but it cannot hide
love from the soul.”
— Kahlil Gibran, Love Letters in the Sand: The Love Poems of Khalil Gibran
“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?”
— Rumi
Come with me, I said, and no one knew
where, or how my pain throbbed,
no carnations or barcaroles for me,
only a wound that love had opened.I said it again: Come with me, as if I were dying,
and no one saw the moon that bled in my mouth
or the blood that rose into the silence.
O Love, now we can forget the star that has such thorns!
That is why when I heard your voice repeat
Come with me, it was as if you had let loose
the grief, the love, the fury of a cork-trapped wine
The geysers flooding from deep in its vault:
in my mouth I felt the taste of fire again,
of blood and carnations, of rock and scald.
Love Is The Focus Of Numerous Popular Books
Many add their own judgements and restrictions,
fears and limitations, and reactions to the hurts and
disappointments of life.
Here are 2 of my favorites
Get The Way to Love
—Anthony DeMello
will shake up your all-knowing
attitude and bring you to an
to something above and
beyond this physical life
which appears real to us.
Nowhere to Go
the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.
—Matthew 8:20
want to be important to this person, to be especial and
make a difference to his/her life? Do you want this
person to care for you and be concerned about you
in a special way? If you do, open your eyes and see
that you are foolishly inviting others to reserve you for
themselves, to restrict your freedom for their benefit,
to control your behavior, your growth, and development
so that it will suit their interest….To ask to be especial to
someone means essentially to be bound to the task of
making yourself pleasing to this person. And therefore
to lose your freedom.”
Get The Handbook to Higher Consciousness
—Ken Keyes, Jr.
experience at his famous Cornucopia Center Retreat in Kentucky.
1. I am freeing myself from security, sensation, and power addictions
that make me try to forcefully control situations in my life, and
thus destroy my serenity and keep me from loving myself and others.
6. I accept myself completely here and now and consciously
experience everything I feel, think, say, and do (including
my emotion-backed addictions) as a necessary part of my
growth into higher consciousness.
12. I am perceiving everyone, including myself, as an awakening
being who is here to claim his or her birthright to the
higher consciousness planes of unconditional love and oneness.

Love Vs Hate How Much Love Can We Share To Eliminate Hate? - July 23, 2022
Hi Dr. Erica, That is one of my favorite songs by the Beatles. Love is everywhere in word, song, poems, books, symbols yet the atrocities of the world are always presented more than the acts of love that are present worldwide. I watched President Obama give out the Presidential Award for Freedom and as he spoken the accomplishments of the awardees my heart filled with such joy. Each and everyone had excelled at something on a personal level and used his/her reach due to fame and or fortune to reach out and touch others. So much love to billions. Awesome article thanks
Lydia,
I watched Obama give out those awards and my heart was also touched. Such impressive people who dedicated their lives to adding to the enjoyment of other people’s lives. Each was prolific in their own work and made a huge impact on others. My goal is to also be an influence for good in the lives of others.
Warmly,
Dr. Erica

Hi Dr.Erica,
Valentine Day is over, but we do not stop
spreading love 🙂 You share this nice collection of
quotes, poems and books. I like the song of John Lennon.
Thank you
Erika
Erika,
My goal is to spread love and to teach others just how important it is to love.
So easy to forget when life and other people disappoint and hurt us.
Through love we can forgive, overcome and create a sense of continual joy.
Warmly,
Dr. Erica
I know so many people who do not participate in Valentine’s Day as they feel it is too commercial. I say to them that it doesn’t have to be commercial, just do something different, something nice together, something loving to show how much you mean to each other. Then they say ‘We can do that any day’, but the reality is they don’t, so why not take the chance to do it on Valentine’s Day? Thanks for sharing this.
Enjoy the journey!
Mandy,
I agree with you. Although Valentine’s Day has become quite commercial around the world, it still is a reminder to show your love and appreciation for those that matter most to you. It’s so simple and can mean so much.
Warmly,
Dr. Erica
