I am watching the show SMASH, and in the latest episode, I watched a conversation between two characters who are discussing the direction of a script that is being written. It sparked a blog post... so here goes!
Writer: "It's not just about love. I'm going for some bigger themes in this story."
Actor: "What's bigger than love?"
Good point, actor. Good point.
Sometimes you've just gotta keep things in perspective, and that means focusing on the biggest and most important things in your life. For me, and most people I imagine, that means love.
Oh you might say that love isn't the most important thing in your life. But that would make you in denial. Because ultimately, everything boils down to love. The clothes you wear, the job you have, the people in your life, and all the little things, they are all driven by love. Call it passion, or what have you. But it's really love.
Love might be for a special someone, or for your family, or your kids. It might also be for imported Brazilian dark coffee, infused with ground vanilla bean to warm you up on a windy autumn morning.
The love could be for shopping for a little black heel that fits just right, that you work a menial job to pay for. Or it could be for those 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets that brush against your skin like a cool smooth satin cloud for you to safely rest your head upon after a long day.
That got your attention, right?
So take life by storm, and let love be the theme for which you direct your life. Let love in, and share it when you ride the bus, or sit in traffic, or find yourself in a not-so-loving situation. Me? I'm going to keep going for those Egyptian sheets...
Hugs xo
