Love Theme #3: The Heart Is the Portal to Love
The Love Luminaries all agreed that the heart is the central access point for our experience of Love for No Reason. Not our flesh-and-blood heart but our spiritual heart—the place in the middle of our chest we point to when we indicate who we are. In all cultures throughout history, the heart has been considered the seat of love.
The ocean of Higher Love flows into your life through this portal,...

Love Theme #2: The Purpose of Life Is to Expand in...
Why are you alive? The Love Luminaries say that our ultimate purpose is to grow in our ability to give and receive love. In other words, love is our job here on earth!
So if love is your job description, the most important thing you can do is to find that ocean of love within you and bring it to the world—to yourself, to your loved ones, to strangers you pass in the street, to everyone and...

Love Theme #1: Love Is Who We Are
All the Love Luminaries told me that love isn’t just something we feel for others, it’s who we are. Love is actually the substance, the building blocks, the essence of everything in our lives. We’re made up of love. Our molecules are formed from love. We are love.
I know that when I first heard this, I rolled my eyes, thinking, I’ve heard this all before. But at the...

Living in Love
This isn’t just a nice idea. As I discovered in my research, some people are actually living this way. After each interview with a Love Luminary, I would shake my head in wonder. The accounts of living in Love for No Reason were far better than any fairy tale—because they were true. For some the experience of this expansive state came on dramatically and suddenly—in a moment of...

We All Want Love
Love.
What a small word for such an enormous, expansive, exalted experience!
Since the dawn of civilization, humans have been engaged in the pursuit of love. Monuments have been constructed, fortunes made, and treasuries emptied—all in the name of love. Whatever we think we want—more clothes, more friends, more money, more status, more power, more anything—in the end, it boils down to love.

A New Feeling
Just the other day I found myself thinking of him. I pictured myself baking him cupcakes. Wrapping them in boxes with his initials, and a mark of my lipstick kisses, in red ribbons and a silly note like- “with just one bite and i’ve put a spell on you! Mwahahaha” I imagined having his clothes washed- neatly folded tees by color, jeans folded by styles, sneakers neatly organized...

Age...Time
When my grandmother was my age, television were books. When my mother was my age, the internet was the television and the radio. Now at my age, the internet is…well, just about all that my generation really has a hard time to live without.
We have forgotten how sweet it is to write letters, and not keep family up to date with a social network update status, or an email. We have forgotten...
