Time is the gift we cannot return or stockpile for another date. All any of us has is this moment, this moment to express our adoration for each other and to nurture our relationships.

Be present.
Break the routine.
Stop multi-tasking.
Put down the gadgets.
Make quality time a priority.
Look at people when they are speaking with you.
Stop taking each other (and your relationships) for granted.
Begin to look at your love with new eyes and an open heart.

Before you know it, your children will become adults and begin creating a life of their own. Relationships change and in some cases may dissolve altogether. Career is great, but there is more to life and life will not pause and wait for you to live it (ask anyone who delayed something with someone only never to do it because of some unexpected event – death, health issues, etc.). Life is enhanced by our relationships and as such we should honor them and cherish them with our full hearts and being. Think about how different your life would be without the inclusion of these relationships. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize the value until it is gone (i.e. relationships, health, opportunities, etc.).

At Love Grows, our intention is that you begin to recognize and appreciate what you have in every moment. In the words of one of my favorite authors, teachers and therapists, Wayne Dyer – ‘Once you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.’ © - Misha N. Granado
