Written by Barbara Mascio

Love comes in many shapes and flavors and is expressed differently by folks. Some expressions are so ‘different’ that we couldn’t add them to our ezine! Such creativity, my goodness.

Love is a very strong emotion and it is a very real spiritual attribute. It requires time and care and will ask you to put another person’s needs first but true love will never ask you to sacrifice your own soul's integrity inrepparttar 110591 process. Love is a challenge. Love is a mystery. Love can make you crazy and Love can keep you sane.

Jean Wales of Wales Consulting and author of 'Do it Now' sends her thoughts –

In real life, as opposed torepparttar 110593 movies and TV, love is day-to day. Love is helping my husband pack his lunch forrepparttar 110594 next day, while he helps me by doing a “carpentry” or “electrical” fix-it job; or listening to your teenager at 11:00 pm when he or she is “active” and you are “drop-dead tired” after a full day of career, housework and trying to squeeze in a little “me” time; or going torepparttar 110595 nursing home at 9 pm to help settle down your 91 year old dad when he is thoroughly disgruntled about his care.
