The Sunday Column: Love’s Weekend.

By Alexis Shoats

A weekend we often shower others and ourselves with adoration and gifts. Love is the ultimate discipline that teaches us to show compassion, positive affection, and selflessness. The love you receive during Valentine's Day weekend often feels like it could sustain you a lifetime. In retrospect, the glee we feel from this weekend should not end on the 14th; this energy and attitude should be carried into the next week. 

Easy ways to let love show up in your life: 

1. Journaling

Journaling allows room to dream, reflect, and plan. I personally love journaling in the morning when my head is clear and my thoughts are fresh. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice, though. That’s the beauty of journaling, you decide where and how to use this act to nurture the relationship with yourself. 

2. Flowers, Always. 

Fresh flowers are a must in my household. Flowers easily elevate the energy in your home and bring so much joy. Having a new bouquet each week also helps set the tone through color and texture. Whether you are looking for peace, energy, or stability, this is an essential way to keep love flowing around you.

3. Love someone else

This does not have to be romantic; it can be your friends, siblings, or your children. The universe does work in tandem, and by showing love to others earnestly, you will bring love to yourself in various ways throughout the week. Following the law of attraction will rarely fail you. 

Let love show up for you this week.
