6 Ways to Speak Love: #1 - Honor Your Word

Today we begin our 6 Ways to Speak Love Series and the first tip is Honor Your Word. 

✔ Can others depend on you?

✔ Is your word similar to a verbal contract, meaning you do what you say you are going to do?

✔ Are you on time for appointments, including social ones with friends and family?

When you honor your word, you establish, strengthen and cultivate trust in your relationships which is a way of speaking love.

Love Grows Suggestion: Beginning today, start to practice being #impeccable with your word. If you cannot do something, do not commit to it. If you do not want to do something, honor your truth, articulate your stance and do not  commit to doing it if you know you will not follow through. If you commit to something, honor it or if needed, follow up with the appropriate individuals and make the necessary changes. Honor your word at all times and with everyone, including your children. - Misha N. Granado, MPH, MS 

Truthful Tuesdays: Vulnerability

Vulnerable is defined as ‘capable of being hurt or injured.’ 
No one wants to get hurt, especially emotionally; therefore it is logical why many people hold back in attempts to avoid it. Although holding back protects you it also limits you from experiencing life and love fully. Many were not taught how or the power in being vulnerable, therefore in the beginning vulnerability can feel quite uncomfortable for both because we rarely enter or experience this space. 

The fullness of and transformative power of love is only experienced through being vulnerable; to show up and live in your relationships as your authentic self always. Being vulnerable also requires you to trust yourself, to trust in your ability to know when and how to be vulnerable. Each time you choose to be vulnerable in your love space this action is a big ‘F**k You’ to fear because you are saying, I choose love. The goal is to choose love every time. – Misha N. Granado
