Love
Love is saying “yes” to life! Seeing with eyes of undivided Love, we recognize beauty in all existence. We see the sacred that lies in the heart of all beings. True Love is undivided. It doesn’t see anything as separate from Itself. An intimate relationship can test one’s ability to see with undivided Love or otherwise known as unconditional Love. In the arms of one’s beloved, there comes a sense of safety. As a result, Self- discovery can occur on a deeper level than any other type of relationship. In the sanctity of marriage, the union becomes likened to a sacred science lab for Love’s healing. Through this intimacy we can come to know our true nature and we discover that Love is our very essence. For a helpful resource; I highly recommend the book, “Awakened Relating” ~ A Guide to Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships by Lynn Marie Lumiere. Another author that is known for writing on the topic of Love is Leo Buscaglia. In the book called, “Born for Love” ~ Reflections on Love” he shares this message: Life is always an adventure, Networking with Pride #PrideAfterFive gears up for its fourth installment this April, and for its founder Nikki Brew, the events are helping to fill a need for London’s LGBT2Q+ professionals. “After becoming a local organizer and host for a series of LGBT2Q+ women’s breakfasts, I noticed there was no existing space for our communities at large to network and connect with each other; particularly outside of Pride season,” said Nikki. In April 2017, Brew worked with Pride London Festival to create #PrideAfterFive, London’s only LGBT2Q+ networking event. The first event was held that month at The Rosewood Room in Downtown London. Other events have been held at 93&King and FitzRays Restaurant & Lounge. “I possessed a strong desire to bring together all members of our communities in an effort to get to know each other better and build an even larger, stronger sense of community within the communities,” says Brew. Modeled after other “After Five” networking events, the idea isn’t a new one, but for London’s LGBT2Q+ professionals, it offers a space to specifically connect with other professionals in the city. “I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to meet many familiar and new faces at the two #PrideAfterFive events that I’ve attended. I love networking and making new contacts. It’s different than being out in a club since this setting encourages easy conversation with those who drop by.” - Kathleen Holland, Financial Consultant, IG Wealth Management Whether it is directed by love or by fear. Fear is the confining of life… the “no”. Love is the liberating of life… the “yes”. Say “yes!”
