Love

Following the teaching of Jesus, I love my neighbor as myself. To be truly loving toward those around me, I cultivate the awareness that I am a spiritual being, able to love and be loved.

I practice self-love by taking care of myself. I give myself permission for quiet time away to relax and reflect. I may take an hour to exercise or spend time with a cherished friend. I do the things that make me feel joyful and most alive. Prioritizing my self-care allows me to have more love to give.

I freely share my loving intentions, attitudes, and actions. I offer my help, attention, or talents where I am needed—lending a hand to a neighbor, sharing my time or treasure, or deeply listening to family members and friends with kindness and compassion.
