Love is the Theme

February 5, 2007

February is the month of the heart. Love is the theme.  
 
As I shared with you at the beginning of January, this year 
my only resolution is to love myself unconditionally. In 
my life experience, it seems whenever I make a declaration 
whatever is in my life that is unlike that declaration 
comes up. I’ve learned to trust that happening and 
undoubtedly create it by having the belief. .  
 
Since the beginning of January I’ve been facing many of my 
imperfections. With the perspective of loving myself 
unconditionally, I’ve been working on loving what is 
showing up in my face each day. That’s not always easy and 
I notice that if I get uncomfortable, I work even more as a 
way to manage my discomfort. 
 
You can imagine how that plays out. I have a busy life 
teaching full time in a community college. I am a coach.  
I mentor other students becoming coaches. I am an early 
childhood educator and my passion is to make the world a 
better place for children by working with their teachers.  
I also love to learn, and am always reading and taking 
courses. As the imperfections came up, in addition to 
spending time loving them, I also created so much work that 
I was completely out of sorts for a while. 
 
I got angry and told myself “I am a human ‘doing’, instead 
of a human ‘being’.” I spent some time writing in my 
journal about “who I would be if I wasn’t doing”. That was 
a tough assignment. I could write nothing more than, “I 
am a ball of light and love”, which is what I believe we 
all are at our essence.  
 
When I was willing to sit with the discomfort of these 
experiences, and not mask that discomfort, the answer came 
to me. I remembered what I know deep inside me. Yes, I am 
love and light and so is everyone else. It is through my 
doing that I fulfill my passion to make a difference in the 
world. By showing up as someone who is human and has 
struggles, but knows her true essence, I can help other 
people remember who they are. 
 
That makes the doing less of a struggle and more in 
alignment with my passion. 
 
How about you? Do you know how wonderful you are? Do you 
listen to and trust your deep inner wisdom? Where are you 
on a scale of 1-10 when it comes to loving yourself 
unconditionally? If 1 is “I don’t even like myself’ and 10 
is ‘I love myself unconditionally’, where do you stand? 
 
This month I invite you to pump up your love for yourself. 
 
1. Take some time to write a list of all the things you 
love about you. Ask your closest friends what the top five 
things love about you, if you need help getting started.  
Commit to going over the list every day this month and 
breathing in love for yourself. 
2. Create a “love myself” night. Imagine inviting your 
lover or spouse and plan and make a meal that you would for 
him or her. 
3. Prepare for the meal by lovingly caring for yourself.  
Perhaps that’s a long slow bath or a day at the spa. Buy 
yourself some flowers. 
4. Set the table as you would for a special meal, light a 
candle and eat slowly. Savour each bite. 
5. Love and acknowledge yourself for the perfect aspect of 
the divine you are. 
 
 
I would love to hear from you as you go through the month 
loving yourself. What comes up for you? Is it fun or a 
challenge or both? Email me at rheenan@mnsi.net. 
 
My amazing training with Debbie Ford and her programs, 
http://www.debbieford.com has given me the perfect lens to 
develop myself. Open curiosity of what I might uncover is 
the kindest viewpoint I have ever experienced. When I 
remember to use that lens and not the one of harsh judgment 
for what is wrong about me, I am quickly able to discern 
what needs to change to keep me in alignment with my vision 
for my life. Do something good for yourself in February 
and check out Debbie’s programs. We are committed to 
transforming the world through our work. 
 
Need more love in your life? Give yourself and those you 
love a Valentine’s gift this month of movies about love.  
Have you read the Conversations With God books? These 
books transformed my whole understanding of God and had a 
profound impact on me. 
 
Just a few years before he wrote his first book, Neale 
Donald Walsch was homeless with a broken neck, 
dumpster-diving for tin cans to have enough money to eat.  
He certainly had no intention of writing 22 books, or 
becoming the New York Times best-selling author of the 
“Conversations with God” series. Neale Donald Walsch was 
just a man down on his luck, out of answers, and in 
desperate need of help, who cried out to God.  
 
And then God answered.  
 
In what became a series of late night “conversations,” God 
revealed himself to Neale in an utterly earth shattering 
way. Walsch posed an endless stream of questions about 
life’s mysteries and uncertainties, and just like that, God 
illuminated the answers, one by one, to all of Walsch’s 
desperate cries. Walsch filled dozens and dozens of legal 
pads recording these conversations, and their messages 
became the basis for an internationally acclaimed book 
series that has sold over 7 million copies and has been 
translated into 34 languages, and now—a major feature film. 
Members of The Spiritual Cinema Circle are receiving
