The Love List
The Love List.
A dedication to your heart.
A ritual of sorts, should you choose.
A written vignette of your deepest hearts imaginings and desires.
Not a dry list of goals to cross off.
A dedication to your innermost yearnings.
That’s a small riff on what the Love List is.
I wrote my first one in my 20’s and oh the magic it delivered! Thankfully I didn’t Marie Kondo it away, I believe I kept it because it still sparks joy.
So what is the Love List? Let me explain.
Its about the LOVE of LIVING!
Its a list of things, people, places, feelings, values etc its a pouring out of all that you are loving right now. Things present, values you’d like to cultivate, places you’d like to visit (the cute cafe around the corner), an exhibition at your local gallery, a meal that you want to try.
And the thing about this list is, its going to. be something that you look at each day. You can create a ritual and make it ‘extra’ or you could have it on your iphone. It doesnt matter, but I want you to be able to see it, daily.
You will be simply amazed at what starts to happen. Opportunities will appear, a lightning bolt of gratitude may appear when you sip your morning tea or coffee, a friend might ask you to that cute restaurant you’ve been crushing on.
Start with your first thing & keep going. Here’s a little to get you going:
A fresh cup of French Breakfast Tea
The song Superbloom by MisterWives
My new heels in hot pink
Italy and Indian, again and again
Bike rides around town
Poetry by Mary Oliver (Devotions)
Burrata cheese, olive oil and fresh basil
Daylight savings
Scarves; silks squares / pashmina’s
Yin Yoga with Eliza.
So can you see from here, some of it is present tense mixed up with future dreams. I believe this magical mix, helps things come our way. There’s magic in the present and the future mingling together.
Get started with your Love List & watch what happens!
