The great Bob Marley (pioneer of reggae music) his son Ziggy Marley wrote this beautiful song which I heard recently, 'Love is My Religion'..the words are ok, but I thought how fitting was the title of the song for a personal mantra.

Love is
Love is so powerful, the most dominant force in our existence.
Love is forgiving, kind, gentle, unconditional, passionate, comforting, soothing, helpful, peace.
Love is God, God is love.
When I think of love, I think relief!
When I think of the details and the intricate components of my body I think, wow, that's love.
When I think about a culmination of all my experiences that have brought me here and now, I think, wow that's love.
When I think that I can connect, share,be enlightened by others, I think, wow that's love.

Take some time out today to dive deep into the thought of love. True love, not some fairytale you have seen on tv, or read in a book. Look at yourself, you are love, you are the vessel which holds love. Pause and think about that. And after pausing, and pausing some more, take a deep breath and ponder about how much do we really love ourselves. If we did, it would be impossible for anyone to not love us.

In this forum alone, look on Cherished, we all love her.. she is radiating with light and love, and it's irresistible.  And the most gracious Veronica, she is all about love..how can you not be drawn and soothed by Veronica. He voice, he tone, her smile, her message is love.

Love first then everything follows.
