2008: The Year of Love

5:16 am Love-Letters


“The Origins of the Year of Love”
For the last few months of 2007, the word “love” kept popping into my head. I wasn’t quite sure where it was coming from, but I had a feeling it was important.

A simple sketch
Then, on the 2nd day of 2008, I woke up with an idea. The idea was to combine the word “love” with the number “2008″. I ran and grabbed a pencil and a piece of scrap paper, and sketched this:

I wasn’t quite sure what to do with the design, but something deep within me told me to keep going. An exciting energy flowed through me as I looked down at the sketch and considered the possibilities.

Then a phrase popped into my head – 2008: The Year of Love.

I didn’t fully realize what I had discovered, but the more I thought about it, the more excited I got.

Several hours on Photoshop and one domain purchase later, I had a beautiful graphic and the yearoflove.org. My wife even helped me design a website for it.

I did all of this without really knowing where the idea was going.

Before I continue it’s time for a Love Exercise:

Love Exercise for the Week:

Go look in the mirror right now. Look yourself in the eye and say I love you 7 times.

How do you feel? It’s tough to feel bad after doing that isn’t it? As Wayne Dyer said in his book The Power of Intention “Say it without embarrassment. Say it proudly, and be that image of love and self-respect.”

Cultivate this love you felt among your close circle of friends, family and coworkers and this will expand into your community and throughout the globe.

Back to the Story

Then Aaron, a friend & fellow change agent came into the picture.

He had read extensively on the power of love, compassion and the mind. We both agreed that incredible power is available to all of us and much of love’s power is unused.

But why? Well, because people just don’t know how to tap into it!

Love is infinitely abundant in the universe and is simple to use. We only need to do one thing to tap in to the infinite power of love: Choose to use it.

“I love all people and all people love me, without attachment.”
