go where the love is

Happy Earth Day!

What is love?

It is one of those meaningful questions that is sure to stir up feelings. It is the reason why most of us are here. I haven’t been able to write for days now because I have been in a love haze of sorts. However, this morning I was reflecting back to last Saturday when I felt a surge of love and I wanted to share it with you. After a breakfast of french toast and turkey sausage, I walked my friend to the train station and as we said our goodbyes, she smiled and said: I am so happy to have had such a large dose of Lala this weekend (well, she used my real name but anyway). I remember holding back my tears; I didn’t wish to cause a scene. As soon as I entered the doors of my apartment building, I began to cry. I was so overwhelmed by her words and generosity that day. Thank you Mitsue for being a wonderful friend.

Today I feel good, stronger than I’ve been in awhile. But yesterday was a different story so I’ll tell you what I did. An hour before the rain had fallen, I knelt down and dug deep into the earth then planted tomatoes, carrots, sage, and 3 different flowers in my brother and his girlfriend’s garden.  Nature is a cure-all for me and when I am in need of some natural loving, I seek out grass, branches, the moon, or sand for re-assurance that love is abundant and everything is perfectly magnificent.

Where I planted the tomatoes and carrots

If you are in a place that is draining the love out of you, then go where the love is. If you are not getting enough love in your life, then go for a walk, call someone and tell them you love them, sit under a tree, pay a compliment to a complete stranger, or volunteer to help someone in need. And If that doesn’t work, buy a train or plane ticket!

Speaking of plane tickets, I feel an adventure coming on, especially since the FAA has resumed flights throughout Europe. In my next post, I will include an interview with a fellow Sunchaser and superstar, Dar Riser, about his latest trip to Thailand. I haven’t been there yet but I am definitely going soon. Here is a photo of his new signature dish, mango sticky rice – delici-o-cious!

Enjoy your weekend and get some sunshine!

and eat something green today – how about some AVOCADO 🙂
