A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

Each time I pick up this book I never fail to be comforted by its words. A Return To Love offers deep and meaningful guidance on how to live a life fuelled by love. As an interpretation from the Principles of A Course in Miracles, it teaches you how to generate all your thoughts, actions and behaviour from a source of love.

For me it is a bible of how to achieve ultimate peace and happiness and I now surprise myself at how much calmer I am when faced with relative adversity. It gives guidance on how to heal past failings in ourselves and in our world along with the importance of thinking of others. 

No matter what sort of journey you've had in your life so far, you can make it different now. There no barriers to this, no excuses, you're not too old, it's never too late and things and people can always change. If you're ready for it, this book can be an education on how to live differently. How to feel differently about situations, how to react differently, how to make different decisions and how to let go of whatever it is or of whatever excuses are holding you back from being all you can be.

I don't want to sound too Utopian here but I do share Marianne Williamson's belief that we all have 'unlimited capacity to express brilliantly' (page 276) ...'We are an adult generation. We have adult bodies, adult responsibilities, and adult careers. What many of us lack is an adult context for our lives, one in which we give ourselves permission to shine, to blossom fully, to show up powerfully in the present without fearing that we're not good enough. Waiting for a powerful future is a way of making sure it never gets here....An adult takes joy in today.' (page 278).

If you want your life to return to love, pick up this Marianne Williamson book today!


I've picked out this little porcelain dish with a heart shaped bath melt in it, wrapped up with the words 'believe in yourself and all that you are' as a gift to remind you to do just that!
