The 1st ReFresh Reads – Loveability BY Dr. Robert Holden


This Past Sunday, June 10 –  LOVE SHOWED UP!

Ideas for me are the DIVINE gifts selected just for you and for me!  Just think of all the times in your life you said to yourself that would be a great idea.  Recall the times you responded YES and took action. Well ReFRESH READS was a DIVINE idea and action was taken and the YES was said, and the next part of story happened on Sunday, June 10 when 20+ showed up, touched and agreed to LOVEABILITY.

We began our book chat with a SWEET Icebreaker.  Each person chose their favorite from a selection of familiar chocolate bars.  1000 Grand, Butterfinger, Snickers, Babe Ruth, Milky Way – you get the idea. After you choose your candy bar you needed to move around the room and find someone else who had selected the same candy bar.  Once you located your twin, you were to share something SWEET in your life.  The room was electric, people gathered in groups and became groups of the same candy bar. What to share with one another based on the SWEET MEET icebreaker.  The candy bars reminded us of our childhood and how the candy had memories and was our very favorite.  So, all in the room willingly shared with another the SWEETNESS in their life.  Easy and gentle share for beginning our chat about LOVEABILITY!

What was beautiful and meaningful to me was that you didn’t need to read the book, you didn’t need to understand every word of the book.  I shared with the group that if you read the book, this discussion would be a reminder, if you didn’t read the book the discussion content would be a reminder and hopefully an inspiration to pick up the book over and over again to continue to be reminded of how you LOVE and how other LOVE YOU!  Robert shares we are all our own expert when it comes to LOVE.  We just need reminding!

Sunday was a tender recall to our LOVING, unconditional love of self, our children, families, our life’s work, our divine assignments, our romantic relationships and world around us.  We can begin with the question – “how am I loving me?” Think about that!  – “How am I Loving ME”. We all hear the coined phrase self ‘care, and it’s so very easy to put ourselves last on the list of LOVING US! This can be as simple as the mirror work that Louse Hay suggests of just looking in the mirror and say our NAME and declaring HELEN I love you.  We don’t need for it to be complicated to have our own heart JUMP4JOY from those 4 words.  Our heart gets it and can easily relate to people and circumstances where we feel – accepted totally – not judged, not diminished, heard for who we are.  For me that is LOVE! Just think if we lived in a world of unconditional acceptance.

We also shared words from the author, I shared an audio of a presentation Dr. Holden did where he speaks to the audience about what he was thinking when we decided to write the book. He calls it a mediation, a call to remember LOVE.  To access your relationship with love and to understand if you feel LOVEABLE or NOT LOVEABLE.

Our very loving author shares anecdotes of his life where he was searching for LOVE.  He speaks so sweetly and intently on LOVE and being the presence of love everywhere in our life.

We closed the BOOK CHAT – with romantic love and we hit the sweet spot and the EXPERTS of our own romantic encounters with love it was a very high energy, open and completely unfiltered conversation. WE get, and all have our passionate thoughts about romantic LOVE.  We could have and WILL do another chat, workshop and detail session on ROMANTIC/RELATIONSHIP LOVE – stay tuned for REFRESH RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!

So, what did the book share?  What are the foundations of LOVEABILITY!!!

Your destiny is not just to find love; it is to be the most loving person you can be.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Self-love is how you are meant to feel about yourself. It is the key to loving others.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When you think something is missing in a relationship, it is probably you.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Forgiveness helps you to see that love has never hurt you; it is only your misperceptions of love that hurt.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The greatest influence you can have in any situation is to be the presence of love.

Holden’s book is indeed a great read for those who want to take a fresh look at how love is operating in their lives.

The byproduct of self-love according to Holden?  Your relationships improve, too.  “When you stop judging yourself, the habit of gratuitously judging others will also stop,” he writes.  “The more you love yourself, the more people feel loved by you.  It’s how reality works.”

I found myself thinking of Holden’s words on love often in the past week as different challenges came up in my life.

We shared openly on LOVEABILITY for 3 hours and could have shared even more.  I came prepared with a LOVE BAG filled with questions that we could entertain if we needed for thought starters.  We never needed once of the questions and I truly love the questions and I am working on how to best share the questions with ReFRESH!

We had a raffle of 2 copies of LOVEABILITY that Dr. Holden signed for REFRESH as a part of the Book Chat. We shared sweets, conversation and rich heartfelt thoughts on our relationship with love.

LOVE is the most healing and harmonizing power in the Universe.  Consider sprinkling love in especially challenging circumstances.  Loves softens, heals and reveals the blocks and fears we are holding.  Be THE LOVE in LIFE. Witness the JOY that appears.

I can’t get enough of you all, I love getting together with powerful, empowered, energetic beings.  The room ignites.  I love going to the space empty and then witnessing the power of your presence.  Thank you for making the time for YOU!  Loving YOU is the JOY opportunity of your LIFE.
