How did we forget so much truth as we grew up?

This is a gift from one of my clients.......it's very relevant on today's

anniversary of 9/11.

I hope you feel it and enjoy it as much as I.

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it.

Touching words from the mouths of babes.

What does 'Love' mean?

 A group of professional people posed this question to a

group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does 'love' mean?'

The answers they got were broader and deeper than

anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

----------------------------------------------------------------

'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend

over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even

when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age 8

---------------------------------------------------------------

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name

is different.

You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

Billy - age 4

--------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on

shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'

Karl - age 5

--------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most

of your French fries without making them give you any

of theirs.'

Chrissie - age 6

--------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4

--------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy

and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make

sure the taste is OK.'

Danny - age 7

---------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get

tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you

talk more.

My Mummy and Daddy are like that. They look gross

when they kiss'

Emily - age 8

---------------------------------------------------------

'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if

you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

---------------------------------------------------------------

'If you want to learn to love better, you should start

with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

---------------------------------------------------------- 

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he

wears it everyday.'

'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who

are still friends even after they know each other so well.'

'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was

scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw

my daddy waving and smiling.

He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'

Cindy - age 8

--------------------------------------------------------------

'My mummy loves me more than anybody

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6

---------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of

chicken.'

Elaine-age 5

--------------------------------------------------------- 

'Love is when Mummy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and

still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'

Mary Ann - age 4

------------------------------------------------------------------

'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me

all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'

Lauren - age 4

---------------------------------------------------------------

'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and

down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)

Karen - age 7

--------------------------------------------------------------

'Love is when Mummy sees Daddy on the toilet and she

doesn't think it's gross.'

Mark - age 6

--------------------------------------------------------------

'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it.

But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.. People forget.'

Jessica - age 8

---------------------------------------------------------------

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia

once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring

child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door

neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently

lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the

old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just

sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the

neighbour, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

--------------------------------------------------------------

When there is nothing left,    that is when  you find out

that  love is all you need.

I absolutely love that last one.  I think that often we

would do well to just sit and listen--and "help people

cry" instead of speaking when there's really nothing

to say!

It's about living from the heart folks.  Once again, I

invite you to visit me at:

so I can help you learn the most scientifically

researched, validated and documented tools for

reducing stress and allowing us to live with greater

ease in a world that makes it tough!

Love to all,
