What's L.O.V.E Got to Do With It?

What's loVe got to do with it by Larysa Luciw

From the title, I can guess that you are already humming Tina Turner's classic tune. I'm not referring to eros type of love linked to a sensual desire when I ask, "What's love got to do with It?" This type of L.O.V.E is the place, where you intentionally Listen, Observe, Value, and Embrace your life.  This sort of love takes authentic living to a higher level of radical acceptance without judgement. 

“Imperfection is not our personal problem—it is a natural part of existing.”

- Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance (2003)

L.O.V.E is slowing down your pace to smell the roses (or the flower of your choice).

L.O.V.E is the state of mindfulness, where you acknowledge and appreciate anything and everything you do or see.

L.O.V.E is to pay attention to the details... the patterns and common threads.

L.O.V.E is to offer yourself grace when you fall short. 

L.O.V.E is to share this gift with others. love+live=life
