“The Five Love Languages” Can Help You More Deeply Connect
As you may or may not know, my Cause in life is “To inspire and empower people to live in a conscious, loving, and connected way.” I believe that humanity is lacking consciousness, often acts in non-loving ways, and ignores our interconnectedness with all the other beings with whom we share our earthly home.
Connecting–whether with nature, our higher-self, or other humans–is a natural gift we all possess. Just observe an infant and you’ll know this is true. As adults, we’ve built up barriers and filters which sometimes make it difficult for others to connect with us or stand in our way from truly connecting with others.
One way to connect is to share your love with the world around you. Opening your heart and offering your gratitude, appreciation, love, and joy. For instance, one of the ways I love to connect is to give my undivided attention. Sometimes I sit with my kitties and focus all my attention on them. Or, when my husband, Bruce, is in his dreaming mode, I give him my complete attention (and reserve my advice and ideas).
I’ve recently finished reading Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate and believe it fits perfectly with this theme of connection and sharing love. I’ve written a full book review on my I Do! I Do! — No-nonsense Resources for Creating Your Ideal Relationship blog. I invite you to visit to read more about the practical, easy-to-use, and highly effective advice Dr. Chapman provides. You can read the book review here.
In the meantime, I invite you to post a comment here and share what you do to show your love and connect with the wider world around you. Simply click the “Comments” link at the end of the post and share what you have to say. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Shonnie!
One of the things that I do which I posted about on my blog recently, was to do with seeing all people, no matter who they are, as beings of light, spirit, and soul. I believe that the physical body is only a vehicle through which we act but there is a being of awareness, the me, the non-corporeal spirit that chooses this vehicle to act.
So I did an experiment recently whereby I was just seeing all human beings as the spiritual divine beings that they are and I had some great results with random people coming to me on the street and talking to me, People initiating conversations with me, people smiling at me, and just meeting some amazing and kind hearted people.
As cheesy as this may sound, I was always brought up to treat others as I wish to be treated and it was that thought that spurred me to be kind and loving to all those around me!
