What if love wasn’t something you waited for, but something you chose and saw—right now, in every moment? In this episode, Rhonda Britten reads from Anthony de Mello’s The Way to Love, sharing how the simple act of seeing love softens your heart, brings clarity, and awakens true, fearless connection—starting with yourself.
Today, I want to talk about the practice of seeing love—not just waiting for it, but choosing it, becoming it, and letting it transform your life. Inspired by Anthony de Mello’s wisdom, I share a passage that calls us to melt the protective shell around our hearts, to choose love even in difficult moments—like when someone cuts us off in traffic—and to see ourselves reflected in others’ struggles.
If you’ve ever felt lonely, unloved, or frustrated by the ways people show up for you, this episode is your invitation to turn inward. You’ll learn why real love starts with your own willingness to see, share, and become love itself. You’ll discover gentle practices for softening your heart, embracing self-acceptance, and claiming the joy and sovereignty that are already yours.
Because every cell, every heartbeat, every hair on your head is made of love—and today is the day to let that shine.
