Allow Nature To Love You
I love nature and because I do, nature loves me back when I least expect it. Look at what a spectacular picture nature
painted for me this morning. All the leaves on that tree are snow
leaves, not one real leaf to be found anywhere. Our city plowed the
alley and now I can't get my car out of the garage. Oh well, I didn't
really want to go out in the snow today when I can enjoy its beauty from the
comfort of my warm home. - Frederick Zappone

Allow Money To LOVE you....
This is absolutely the best video to help you ALLOW your love for money to attract more money to you... It is hypnotic, mesmerizing and best of all, over time, it will make you feel good about money, causing you to attract more money into your life rather than you continuing to worry about money or being stressed out because of money...
No BS, Love makes problems disappear like Magic
Love will make ANY problem you have disappear, from your life, like MAGIC. And yet magic has nothing to do with it while using 'thoughts of love' to invoke the power of the universe, the favor of God, has everything to do with it.
The best part is you DO NOT HAVE TO BELIEVE love will make your problems disappear like magic. You simply have to think thoughts of love on a consistent basis, and your problems will dissolve, disappear, fix themselves, for no logical reason you can explain.
All the problems you have in your life are a result of resisting, disliking, fighting, worrying or fearing some thing or some person in some way. However when you love your problems to death, you will literally love them out of existence That has been my experience for several years now since I decided to give love a chance, not as a good idea that lived between my ears but rather as something that lives in my heart as the dominant reality of my life.
Got questions about using love to make all of your problems disappear including health, relationship and financial problems? You will find the answers you seek in all three of these $2.99 Kindle books, which includes one of my own. Click on links to read more:

Stuffed Animals, Children, and a Woman's Tears
I don't normally do this but this is the second day in a row that I am reprinting an article written on the subject of love by someone other than myself. I guess I will have to change my policy about what I post on my blog. I want people visiting here to be able to read the best self-love related articles possible and if someone can write about it better than I can, then I have a responsibility to my readers to reprint it here when possible. The article is by Nora Podkul who I have known since I was 6 years ago. It is a very sensitive, touching article on the subject of 'our best' not being good enough. I hope you enjoy Nora's article as much as I did - Frederick Zappone
When your best isn’t good enough!
By Nora Podkul, Author of Tripping Over Enlightenment
I woke yesterday morning in tears. I hate when that happens and fortunately it hasn’t been very often. Sometimes our dreams however have a way of playing out our fears. Last night I struggled with my fear of not being good enough, even though I honestly feel like I do my best. An innocent conversation about favorite childhood stuffed animals started it all. Who knew that was even possible, interesting how the brain works.
It all began with a conversation about “Green Bunny”, a grand-daughter’s favorite toy. Somehow we ended up talking about the favorite stuffed animals my daughters’ had as children. Enter Henry, the cute little dog with floppy ears and a missing eye, and Wilcox, a medium sized brown bear, with his neck severely severed and his face lovingly worn away. I’m sure you’re aware…. sometimes they don’t outlast the child’s desire to keep them.
I tried to save Wilcox and Henry since they meant so much to my daughters. Creatively and with a great deal of love and effort I attempted to prolong their life. I thought it worked since they both still have possession of them. Until that fateful day, two days ago, when I found out neither one actually liked what I had done and felt their prized possessions now resembled something from “Frankenstein’s” lab. All my thought, time and concerns weren’t seen for what I thought they were. But it was my best attempt at preservation.
Ridiculously this made my sub-conscious go to that dark place where my best effort has never been enough. I wrestled all night with the failure of my first marriage; how I daily disappoint those I love, the times I failed as a daughter and mother, those moments when I am not able to really help those seeking my aid, etc. I woke with sadness knowing I will never be the perfect person I wanted to be in this lifetime.
But then I saw the sunrise and heard the birds singing their spring song and realized none of that mattered. What does matter is the love behind what I do and the good intentions in my heart. It’s alright to be human and imperfect. None of us set out to disappoint others or ourselves, it simply happens for whatever reason.
The entire concept of doing your best is subjective because everyone has a different opinion of the best you can produce, which often conflicts with reality. My husband once said the worse thing a parent can tell a child is “just do your best” for that’s a curse. No one sets out to fail at something. It’s simply impossible to live up to another person’s dream. Still innately we desire to please.
So be your authentic self and go forward doing what spirit inspires you to do without judging yourself. Leave that to the afterlife review when you can look back without fear…..knowing you loved…. And you really did “do your best”.

A Woman's Prayer About Love (Beautiful)
I rarely post other people's writings on my blog but today is an exception. Moon Prayers By Meadow DeVor is one of the finest articles I have ever read on the subject of love. It is a revealing, tender, passsionate, insightful piece. Most of all, it was written with honesty straight from the heart. When it comes to beauty, intelligence and compassion, Meadow DeVor makes my top 10 list. She is an extraordinary woman with more courage, when it comes to love, than most men I know.

MOON PRAYERS BY MEADOW DE VOR
I said a prayer for my heart tonight.
I felt that cold seeping in.
The inky blackness that hides in my
veins. Just waiting for a call to duty. To harden and cement a barrier
so thick that I will be protected from this hurt.
The white hot barbed-wire that courses
from my gut. Twisting and turning a tangled rusted knot. Weaving itself a
corset through my rib cage. Suffocating and stifling. Tighter. Till
there were only two words.
Love me.
The two words that risk the most dangerous of dangers:
To love and to be rejected.
And I know rejection.
I know what it’s like to have your mother
call you a pig. Rip off your clothes. And make your brother and sister
watch while she whips you with the belt buckle.
I know what it’s like to have your father fear you more than he can ever love you.
I know what it’s like to have a man leave
you. But not all at once because that would just be too kind. Instead,
it’s in millimeters and moments. Till you don’t quite remember if he was
ever there in the first place.
I know rejection.
And still. I hear the words.
Love me.
I want to obliterate them. Banish them
from my memory. I want to shut them up. Gag them. I want to puke them
out. And flush them away. I want to hide them somewhere safe. For some
other night when I will know that I can trust.
And still. My soul will not be silenced. It craves connection. It speaks that moon language.
It knows the truth. That love is never dangerous.
So I said a prayer for my heart tonight.
And my tears washed the blackness away. And the ocean wind broke through the weathered barbed-wire.
And I remembered.
The two words that repair all wounds.
And keep any heart from turning to stone.
I remembered the two words that obliterate all risk. All danger.
The two words that make me willing to walk out into this dark night. Alone. And not afraid.
I love.
The two words that remind me that it’s
not about what I get back. It’s not about being accepted, approved of,
or included. It’s not about how well I can contort myself to fit your
expectations. It’s about what I give. To you. To me. To all of us.
I love.
Because it’s not worth living life any other way.
And even though the hardening and steel sing their siren song seducing me toward their fortressed prison.
I shut my eyes tight.
And say a prayer for my heart.
To help it choose to love.
Because this is the only direction to keep walking.

The Remarkable Benefits of Increased SELF-LOVE
Self-love is one of the most under-rated and least talked about subjects on the planet. At least not talked about intimately and personally, the way I talk about it.
The benefits of loving yourself sufficiently will amaze and astonish you, at times, moving you to tears and taking your breath away.. Self-love is about feeling good (regardless of the people and circumstances around you) because when you are feeling good, you are loving yourself sufficiently. And when you are loving yourself sufficiently MIRACLES happen in your life, big and small ones, spontaneously and unexpectedly..
To love yourself sufficiently, do whatever it takes to make yourself feel good. Read what inspires you, listen to what lifts you up... There are many thing that makes me feel good, listening to classical guitar music is one of them. This morning, I would like to share with you two of my favorite classical guitar videos along with a song sung by Janey Cutler, who has since passed away, that makes me feel as if God love for me is washing over me like warm ocean waves on a hot summer's day.
- If you love yourself sufficiently, your life will become very magical and the things that appear to be going wrong in your life will turn out right.
- If you love yourself sufficiently, unwanted pounds will melt away from your body without you having to diet or think about what you eat in any way.
- If you love yourself sufficiently, your levels of energy will increase naturally and if you are sick, you will achieve fully restored health effortlessly.
- If you love yourself sufficiently, money will start coming into your life, moving from a trickle to a flood, from sources unexpected, unexpectedly....
