Today marks my 725th blog post.
That’s 725 days (in a row!) of keeping my promise.
Whenever I hit a milestone like this I think, “Wow.”
And then, before I know it, I hit another milestone and think, “How.”
I’ve come to believe that it’s all in the promise.
Because promises are sacred.
This year my promise has been to love more and fear less. It has sent me on adventures forcing me to face my fears head-on, including spiders and scorpions and all the creepy crawly things that use to make me scream. That includes the creepy crawly things in my heart.
More than anything I have learned the incredible depth of love.
The surprising aha for me?
Learning true love is a more difficult lesson than facing my fears. I don’t mean the kind of woo woo, fairytale, dreamy love. I mean the transformative kind.
So, after all this time, I finally realize that it all comes down to two things:
Boundaries and forgiveness.
- Boundaries: just a fancy word for self respect.
- Forgiveness: a state of mind to let love in.
To that I say….
Let love rule.
Oh, yeah… and a happy 725 days.

Self-respect and forgiveness – we all need more and get more, thanks to you. Another thing we’ve discussed is my rule – which I try to but sometimes fail to follow: Treat everyone with respect and courtesy, whether you like them or not and whatever mood you are in. Love all days, DN
Love, love, love to you Diane!
