Christmas is a reminder of love, of giving. It stems back to the ultimate love story - the love of the infinite for the finite. The Creator for his creatures. The pure for the unpure. Of ultimate and unconditional love for the unloved. Beauty for the non-beautiful. It is a reminder of the love of God towards his creatures. It is not a mere myth of baby in a manger, helpless, adored, swaddled. It is powerful, glorious, stunning in its glory. It is like a shot from heaven for the faltering creatures, faltering from lack of love, meaning and hope. The ultimate power fuel, love potion, energizer.

"Today I begin a new life. Today I shed my old skin, which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.
Love is to be given and shared, not hidden, and not paraded.
"Once long ago and far away was a very special valley. The outside world did not know about this special valley or the very special people that lived within it. You see, what made these people special was the fact that they wore their hearts on the outside of their chest for everyone to see. There were big ones and small ones, pretty ones and some not so pretty.
The Law of Attraction states that anything is within your possibility if you focus on it enough. And to attract success, wealth, blessings and to get rich, one has to have the right mindset and premise. Not to attract the wrong things. And that premise is love.
If only you could only love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.
You are unique. There will never be someone else like you. Don't compare. Don't undermine your worth Because you are different, that is why you are special.
Often, people focus on what they wish they were not or what they wish they could be rather than who they really are.
Only you know what is best for you. You can make a difference regardless of what you are, where you are what your resources and talents are.
I love you because the Earth turns round the sun because the North wind blows north sometimes because the Pope is Catholic and most Rabbis Jewish because winters flow into spring and the air clears after a storm because only my love for you despite the charms of gravity keeps me from falling off the Earth into another dimension I love you because it is the natural order of things
" I have met on the street a very poor man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat was out of the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, and the stars through his soul."
" Life is to be fortified with many friendships. To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence" Sydney Smith
Life's greatest value ultimately lies the relationships we have in our lives. Other than knowing yourself and having an understanding and love for oneself, loving and caring relationships and friendships is one of the most fulfilling gifts you can have in your life. It's about people. It's about caring, commitment, loyalty, love. It's what you remember and want to restore at the end of your life.
A beautiful relationship can bring untold love, appreciation, joy and ecstacy. On the other hand, a broken relationship with someone dear can bring untold misery and pain.
Here are 6 ingredients for healthy relationships that we should strive to develop in every relationship.
You're both at a movie, you and he are good friends, the chemistry is just perfect. There are common interests, personalities click. You're pretty sure this is the one, and you are sitting glowing and radiating in your relationship of a few months. You're pretty familiar and it's time for him to pop the question. He runs his fingers through your hair, and you snuggle close. Deep down inside, he is feeling a strange mixture of emotions. He welcomes your company, yet fears the speed at which you have become close. He views you as an intrusion of his intimate space, and if he gives in, it means he will be vulnerable.
A mother's love. So spontaneous, so unconditional, yet foundational in a child's life. It embodies the hope, dreams, faith, promises that have yet to be fulfilled. When we look at a child, he/she is so full of potential and hope- we can dream again- that this life will be able to experience the happiness that he/she is deserving of.
