Today , I am at my best regarding the wholeness of the heart , mind , body , and spirit experience . In my life ' s journey , I now truly understand that the nature of Love nourishes the power of Relationships as it reveals the meaning of Life .
When looking through the lens of Love , we allow ourselves to focus on the beauty in others and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead . It helps us look for what is right instead of wrong and draws out the best in others and ourselves . As my Ballroom Dance Instructor mom , Betty , would say , in the dance of life , there are two ways of expressing love in a loving relationship : verbal and nonverbal communication . Love Empowers people ; however , non-verbal expressions often speak louder than verbal ones .
The view through the lens of Love moved me in ways I never could have imagined . It provided me the quiet confidence to exercise my natural emphatic nature when crossing paths with individuals who needed more than a warm , comforting assurance that a new tomorrow begins when the sun rises the following day . It gave me the much-needed self-care nourishment to nurture me back to my usual self whenever I encountered a challenging life experience .
Over the years , I have learned that two separate but equal forces govern our personal and professional decisions : Love and Fear .
Love is always about having a positive vision of the other person or situation . Fear , on the other hand , is only about us . When we view every circumstance as the cusp of a new beginning , we embrace the idea that every moment is a Conscious Choice . Happiness , joy , and harmony soon follow when we choose Love over Fear .
The unconditional Love I received from my 9 Moms led me to the empowering wisdom of “ A Family Experience is Defined by Who Loves Us and Who We Love , rather than by our shared DNA .” My 9 Moms also reminded me that whether it is family love , self-love , partnership , or friendship love , whenever we look through the Lens of Love , it leads us to Love an Imperfect Person Perfectly !
Let us embrace February as a window of opportunity to look at the various people in our lives , our neighborhood , and our community through the lens of Love . Celebrate and cherish the moment by allowing the tender Feeling of Endearment to usher in our Legacy of Love for others to enjoy , benefit from , and follow for generations to come !
With gratitude and blessings always , Johnny

What The World Needs Now Is Love by Jackie DeShannon
“ What the world needs now is love , sweet love It ' s the only thing that there ' s just too little of What the world needs now is love , sweet love No not just for some , but for everyone
Lord , we don ' t need another mountain There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb There are oceans and rivers enough to cross Enough to last ' til the end of time
What the world needs now is love , sweet love It ' s the only thing that there ' s just too little of What the world needs now is love , sweet love No , not just for some , but for everyone
Lord , we don ' t need another meadow There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine Oh listen , Lord , if you want to know
What the world needs now is love , sweet love It ' s the only thing that there ' s just too little of What the world needs now is love , sweet love No , not just for some , oh , but just for every , every , everyone ”
