By Eliana Barriga Publisher and Managing Editor for The Retail Observer ![]() February is a special month–the Month of Love. It has always been a favorite time of year for me. This year, I challenge you to view this month as an opportunity to not only love others, but to love yourself. A healthier, happier and self-loving you will unveil the magic, freedom and power of becoming love in action. The only requirement of love is your willingness to accept it. So how do you grasp love? Funny you should ask... I think you can’t. “Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won’t adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is sign on as its accomplice.” –Tom Watson. “Thinking with love sets you free! If you feel free, you are able to accomplish whatever goals you set your mind to,” says Adriana Cascata, author of Think with Love. “People think there are different ways to live and enjoy life, but the only way to be truly happy is through love.” What is love? Love is an action. Love is an energy that can be felt but not seen. It is a bridge that connects you with others and, ultimately– conquers all. It is only through the acceptance of love that wholeness of mind, body, and soul is ever achieved. How can you show some love today? Just ‘being there’ can be what matters most. Making amends and letting go of the past is a first step in rebuilding broken bridges and creating that pathway back to love. Give of yourself, in order to bring another closer to love. Take that love and spread it everywhere you go–leaving people feeling happier and more inspired for having met you. This Valentine’s Day remind yourself that you are deserving of the love sent your way. Spend it with somebody who gives selflessly to you or spend it with the number one person worthy of love in your life – You! Either way, hear the voice of love call your name... and answer it. Become Love in Action! Eliana Barriga [email protected]

By Eliana Barriga Publisher and Managing Editor for The Retail Observer ![]() “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending” – Maria Robinson New Years is a time when we consider ways to reinvent ourselves. Re ecting over the course of the past year, it has been a rough one not only for myself, but for many close friends and family members as well. It’s been a year of facing big life changes, and contemplating intriguing questions such as: “Are you looking to make a new ending by creating exciting new beginnings?” To quote Steve Jobs, “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” Whatever you may want to change in your life, make uncertainty your best friend this New Year. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t take it personally. Raise your awareness to know that every day is an opportunity to fully comprehend that the past is gone. Those memories will never repeat themselves the same way. Old habits and patterns can’t hold you prisoner, but can encourage you to move forward in new ways, especially at the turn of the New Year when the entire planet is going through a re-boot with resolutions and plans for positive changes. Get excited about things that have never been, by creating new dreams that encourage you to move ahead. What if the anticipation of becoming a relentless learner was the fuel you needed to become curious and enthusiastic in your new direction? Look for the people and things that make you shine. Move forward with joy and enthusiasm and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you. New beginnings are most certainly always exciting times! Make every day a new beginning, Eliana Barriga [email protected] |
