Day 365 ~ Full Circle

Today is my 365th and final day of my 365 project!

If you're curious why I started my 365 project, click HERE.  It was Valentine's Day and last year I decided I was going to look at it from a positive perspective instead of dwelling of what was missing in my life.  I decided to document something I love each & every day.

The serendipity of this project has amazed me.  Lawrence Block defines serendipity as "looking for something, finding something else, and realized that what you've found is more suited to your needs that what you thought you were looking for".  Ain't that the truth!

I find this photo so very appropriate to post on this last day of my 365 project.  Unexpectedly through this journey, my heart found someone special.  The interesting thing is that I kept saying to myself that THEE someone I would be with would pursue me.  It wasn't until after we were together that I realized he has been doing this for some time now.  I never recognized as it was happening that I received my desire.  It was quite an epiphany, as well as a sign that God was listening...and answering.

I love this quote by Jackson Kiddard below.  I feel it in my heart now.

{ & this 365 project documents my new love affair with my life }

LOVE BECOMES LOVE

Indeed our hearts are golden treasures,
but a true tragedy would be to conceal your inner gold
because you are afraid of someone stealing it
or it falling and breaking.
There is no love in fear.
The great wisdom of the ages always tells us
the more you are Love
the more of it you receive.
Love is not a giving or a taking,
it is a state of being
~ a one way street of allowing, accepting
and holding a space for all things
to be exactly as they are.
 Fear not that your heart will be broken or stolen.
Love becomes love.
Give it away with no expectation of return
& soon you will be having a love affair
with the whole world.
