InnerSelf's Weekend Inspiration

February 21-22-23, 2025

This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a weekend of adding Love to your life (today and every day). 

The focus for today and for the weekend is:

I add Love, in its many forms, to my daily life:
patience, compassion, acceptance, generosity, gratitude, etc.

Today's message is inspired by an article written by Marie T, Russell, InnerSelf.com:

Life is like a personal recipe we are all working on. However, there is one ingredient that needs to be present in each and every “recipe” in order for the recipe to be successful – to taste good, to look good, to feel good. And that ingredient is Love.

If Love is not present in your life, whether internally or externally, your life will not taste quite right. It will “taste” bitter, sour, and unpalatable. So how do you fix any “recipe” that doesn’t taste right? You add the missing ingredient, or add more of one particular ingredient.

In the case of our lives (and the world around us) the missing ingredient is Love in its many forms: patience, compassion, acceptance, generosity, gratitude, etc. etc. If you look at any situation that is “off” in the world, the missing ingredient is Love.
