Love is the essence of who we are.  It is an energy of our spirit.  It is that which we are made.  Love is infinite.

Love is hard to know until we experience it in the depths of our being.  Love is known when we know ourselves again. 

This is how the dictionary defines love.

“Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction.”

It points us to the feelings and emotions we experience once we discover our spirit.  Words used to describe love fall short.  I don’t believe we have human words to describe the all-knowing and infinite.

We can only truly love others when we love ourselves!

Through my journey, the wisdom I was given is profound.  I realized I cannot truly heal until I love myself unconditionally.

Love is the first step to everything in life.  That is the foundation of everything we create and get in our lives.  Too bad that isn’t the first subject taught in kindergarten, before the ABC’s.

I heard those words of wisdom flying home from Houston.  I heard and wrote the words.  To be whole, I had to heal body, mind emotions and spirit.  But that was at the beginning of this journey.  I had no idea what that meant.  I had no idea where that profound wisdom was going to take me for 14 years.

It really seems all so simple.  Why do we make it so hard? 

Because we are human!

We must forgive ourselves for our past and move forward in self-love.

 These our my words of wisdom from my cancer survivor journey and also others.

We think that our biggest challenges in life come from our kids or our work and careers.  But our biggest challenge in life is to love ourselves completely.  We carry so much guilt and pain around with us that we don’t even realize. Imagine this guilt and pain from years and years of our life as stuffed in suitcases.  The suitcases eventually get so heavy it is hard to walk around with them.  We try to lug them around and it slows us down.  We don’t understand why things aren’t working, or why we can’t move forward, or why life seems so hard.  We are carrying a heavy load, often unconscious.

Words of Wisdom from the Cancer Survivor Speaker.  I love to share the lessons I have learned through my cancer survivor journey. 

I truly believe what will set us free to live life joyfully and in peace is loving ourselves and others unconditionally.

When everything else is stripped away, nothing else matters, and all there is left is love.

I remember laying in my hospital bed, crying uncontrollably after hearing the news of my cancer diagnosis.  With such fear crawling through my entire being, I was lost and alone, but yet it all seemed so clear at the time.  Nothing really mattered except love.  Love for and from all the people around me. 

Why is it so hard to love ourselves and others unconditionally?

Let’s start with loving ourselves.

Why is it so hard to love unconditionally?

Why do we go through our day and react and respond to others with judgement and anger?

Then WHY do we carry it with us all day, and all week and sometimes even for years?

I have been learning unconditional love at another level.  I believe as we travel this journey called life, we have infinite opportunities to grow, learn and be all we came here to be.  There have been times that I have said, “great! I got that lesson from that experience, now I can check it off my list.”  Only to see it come back in another experience, in a different form and another level.

 At times we take the opportunity to grow from the experience and really experience the essence of who we are and the love we are.  These are the times we let go of the past and use it to make room for something else greater to come into our lives.  This is when everything clicks and it feels easy.  Life flows and we feel happy, centered and balanced.
