"Thank you for the Celebration of Love, it was wonderful, I can still feel the energy. Thank you to all those that took part and made this possible with love and light" Val
"I'm getting excited... It's nearly time. You know last year when we celebrated love together, I heard afterwards of three damaged relationships that had been healed, of numerous unexpected happy events which just sprung up from nowhere, and of a great deal of laughter and appreciation. In the period in between the world changed. It changed as a result of terrible and chaotic events. And yet in the midst of those terrifying events a great wellspring of empathy and love grew up too. "So now....here we are again....preparing to celebrate love. I've been thinking about the changes that have taken place in my own life in the last twelve months. It's been a hard and yet a revelationary period for me, and I know, for many others. But I now feel as though I am standing on the threshold of something mighty....and part of that is the Celebration of Love. "So I'm planning what I'm going to do. If the weather is kind I might have my first barbe of the year. I want to be with friends. I want to giggle a lot, and have fun. I want to enjoy the garden which is just now coming to life. And I want the people I love to know that I love them." Jan
"It is certainly true that a year ago today I still did not realise what love really is. Love is a force that exists in the Universe and demonstrates itself whenever we allow it to flow through us unbridled. For me this last year has been about realising just how many chains and walls existed inside my head to stop love channeling. So I've worked very hard on making my own head a clean space for love to move through and on the way my heart feels more healed than I ever thought possible. Thanks to you loving me I now understand that love is a power and one which simply has to be asked to come down that few millimetres so that we can touch it, express it, create with it, grow with it, smile at what it reveals.. "None of this is wishy-washy or airy-fairy.. this is real and strong and the most powerful force in the Universe. After all, anyone of us can turn to our neighbour and say or do harm to them. Anybody can walk up to a sandcastle and kick it over. How much more difficult do we find it to build the sandcastle in the first place? That takes skill and patience and we still know the sea will come and wash it away. But we go for it and produce beauty and then after we've given it to the Sea we start all over again. "So I will be enjoying the Celebration of Love Day by spending it with you and as many of my friends as we can gather together. I plan to spend time being grateful too - you've taught me that happiness comes first from being grateful. I have a whole lot of love in my life already.. thank you." Liam
"Hiya... the day is drawing ever so closer huh? I'm excited too, Jan! And so looking forward to spending a day enjoying time with the people I love. I think the past year has shown me just how much Love makes a difference in our lives, more so if you let it! "This time last year I hadn't long started a relationship and now... it is as though we have been together forever... and that has come through the support of friends and by trusting in Love. Doing something like having a day to celebrate love makes a huge difference. It makes you stop and truly appreciate the joy that is around you in friends and loved ones. That you touch all those people just as they touch you. "This is such a wonderful concept...and I hope that more good things follow from the day. Thank you! Lotsa love." Mandy
"I hope to be spending it with my close friends and my family. I'm also hoping to do a lot of laughing. I saw a program the other day about comedy, charting the changes in comedy over the last 40 years or so, and I found I really wanted to watch lots of comedy programs afterwards ;-) "I'm hoping to eat lots of really nice food, to sit outside if the weather's conducive, or watch the rain (or snow!) or listen to the wind howl if it's not. I want to fill my house with flowers and hearts, and spend time being grateful for how much love there is in my life." - Eleanor
"We had a great time ;-) Had a barbecue in the sunshine at Jan and Liam's place, with lots of good friends, and a party in the evening... there were strawberries in chocolate ;-) and much other very good food... lit pink candles and read Saul's poem, which I do think is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry ever written.. I just love the way it flows and touches on all those different expressions of love and beauty. "It was just so great to chill out and spend the day with very good friends, in the sun... how blessed I am to be able to do that. Since then I've been thinking a fair amount about Saul's poem, and about all the different types of love... romantic love, friendships, family love, and how valuable they all are to me. How they make my life so much better... my father passed away earlier this year, and this was very hard for me, but I've been very lucky in the support I've got from my family and friends, and that I had a good loving relationship with my Dad... I certainly wanted to celebrate these things. I'm also very lucky in that my own baby is due soon, and this is also a cause for celebration... "And I've thought a lot about the effect we can have on other people. There are so many stories floating around about how one smile can make all the difference, one person saying they care just once can change someone's life... My husband read something somewhere and I'm sorry that the sources escape me now (it might have been an ecard on the web somewhere) but the sentiment really struck me. It said, 'if you think that you are too insignificant to make a difference, imagine spending the night in a small room with a mosquito'... "I thought this was a really lovely day, for me the main thing was lack of stress, in the sunshine with lots of good friends... it's just the knowing that there's no better place to be, no nagging at the back of your mind that there's something else you should be doing... And of course reading through the Prayer to Love and lighting pink candles and trying my hardest to spread love around this world, cos some days it sure seems like it needs it! I guess this is what the day was about for me, not just celebrating and enjoying it for myself, but the knowledge that I can help spread it around the world... "I've just put two ideas together here, I've often thought that in places like the middle east and northern ireland, progress could be made if they had a "day without guns" where no-one took guns out on to the streets, regardless of which side they were on... maybe if Angelpaths runs this day next year, we should mail them and suggest it :) So yes, I really enjoyed it, and just want to spread the love around the world, whether it's something as simple as being nice to people who serve me in shops and appear grumpy, or working with the Prayer to Love or lighting candles or whatever... Love'n'hugs" Graham
"Hello, My experience on the Celebration of Love day was really gentle and mellow. It so nice to spend quality time with friends and not to feel guilty or like Graham says having that nag in the back of your mind. It was a perfect way to spend the day. and I think that brightness and happiness does spread out round the world. You pass it on to people, like a smile is contagious so is laughter and happiness. Positive thoughts do make a difference. So lighting a candle and thinking about love and imagining good things can make a difference. We all have power and we can all do something. I had a lovely day and I hope that you all did to. Take care" Vicki
"I had a wonderful day. I made a promise to myself that I would be present every minute to my 10 year old son John. Every word I spoke would be kind and loving and encouraging. I had the PRIVILEGE of going to breakfast with him and staring at that beautiful little face of his and listening to every topic of conversation from A-Z. The more I smiled in his face as he spoke, the more excited he became and it was at that moment I felt such true joy. Later I watched him pitch at his baseball game and I screamed cheers for everything he did. I could see his chest grow bigger with each pitch. Later in the evening a soccer game and finally a ride home where he climbed into my lap and allowed me to snuggle him like he was an infant. I cried and the tears fell on his face. So many wasted hours and years just letting those wonderful moments pass because the pressure of life gets in the way. It was at that moment that I knew what I was and am supposed to do with my life and that is to be a mother regardless what age my children are. There was such peace in my home that day that I made the decision to allow my 19 year old son to return home with us. He needs to be in a place where he is loved and that is with me. I may not have spread the love like I had originally intended, but I know that a part of me awoke that day and now I will try my best to make everyday like the day of love celebration. I hope that everyone who participated came away with something special and wonderful. Thank you." Margee
"Excellent celebration of love - thanks for the chance to share this wonderful day. It was truly wonderful. Thanks to every one that helped put this together. A special thank you to you Jan. The art work with the prayer was fantastic, I'm going to frame mine. Love." Val.
"We spent a marvellous day having great fun with good friends. The Goddess of Weather was fairly kind to us - she decided on a cold snap in the evening, but I was barbequing which kept me warm ;-) Gardens and plants were definitely a theme, especially bluebells. Did you know that woodland with bluebells must be hundreds of years old cos for some strange reason bluebells don't populate modern woodland unless they're helped?? Heard this twice in the last 24 hours!! It must be important." - Jan
"Was absolutely PERFECT! Two friends and I went to a beautiful estate house and garden that is open to the public with no charge sooooo of course I bought lots and lots and lots more plants at their plant sale (they sell what they don't use on the grounds very inexpensive considering quality and they're mostly unusual plants I'd have to really HUNT for - oh here I go rambling on gardening again - well Poor Bill helped with the sailing class here at the university and watched our special 6 year old friend so he had a great day too and then our son came home for the rest of the weekend and we all just enjoyed the beauty of life and it was great. Friends and I went to a wonderful restaurant for lunch/dinner and just talked and talked and talked. WONDERFUL!!!! Weather was perfect though I'm still a little sunburned but it was worth this tiny inconvenience. Have a great day of love and joy and happiness and sunshine and beauty and pure peace." Marlita
"Celebration of love of my career, unfortunately! I'm afraid I had to spend most of the day at work. But I did stop for a while at 6.45pm. Interesting - not many images - got a lot of swirly red and green when I was trying to concentrate on pink, saw a lot of roses including a walled rose garden and for some reason a red velvet high-heeled shoe." Kriss
"Travelled back from UK. Had some champagne in the sky, meditated up there.... I could actually see the small pink light covering the ground below. Came home late afternoon, spoke with friends and family, meditated 7 Pm your time, lovely pink. Celebrated my own birthday, when out to wine and dine. Had a huge black rum and coke and went to bed." Britt
"The weather was beautiful all weekend and we went off to the Aran Islands. Unfortunately the woman in the place we were staying messed up the accommodation but otherwise we had a lovely time. Although I didn't formally take part, I feel that the weekend was a Celebration of Love in every possible way!! Lots of love" Noko
""Wonderful Day! Cinco de Mayo!! Wonderful day for thinking of positive things in our lives! I am having a wonderful day - I hope the same for all on this forum and for those who haven't found this forum yet as well!!" Anne |
