Resurrected Heart 2 Heartful Art print of an original painting by Raphaella Vaisseau - What love is all about

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Week, here's a print of "Resurrected Heart 2" from a series of three paintings I did when I lived in Ashland, Oregon before the turn of the century. (That sounds so long ago.)

The flower in the center of the heart is symbolic of the heart forever opening to the spirit within. That's what love is all about, a forever unfolding of joy, understanding, and acceptance, within and to ourselves as well as outwardly in relationship to others. Such a beautiful thing love is.

Knowing that everything is vibration and living in a vibrational universe, it's easy to feel when we are in harmony with ourselves, our loved ones, and our desires. Abraham-Hicks teaches that our emotions are the indicators of how well we're doing. Does what you're thinking feel good? If yes, think more thoughts like that. If no, refocus on something else that generates happy feelings. Sound too simple? Maybe so, but you might want to check it out for yourself.

I wish you love today and always.

"Loving you is blessing me" by Raphaella Vaisseau - a Valentine and more

Here's a new 8x10 matted, colorful print of the "almost famous" love affirmation I created decades ago to express the joy received when loving someone or something unconditionally: "Loving you is blessing me."

As a student of spiritual enlightenment, I've been working with the concepts of law of attraction, karma, and the circle of life for a long time. The up side of the Law of Cause and Effect (what you put out comes back to you) is that it includes the good stuff as well as the not-so-good.

Whether you believe in karma or not, let your feelings be your guide. Doesn't it feel great inside of you when you are centered in your heart and sharing your love unconditionally? You betcha!

Not only is this a great Valentine, but it is a happy addition to the walls of any baby nursery or child's room. It's a present for anyone, any time that you'd like to remind that you love them, and you are totally enjoying giving the gift of love to them.

Live in the present moment. Notice the joy in loving. And, know I am blessed by loving you, my family, friends, and fans.

Give Joy with "Heart of a Party" for Valentine's Day

I believe a painting of a heart can remind us to tune in and listen to our own inner beings, and remind us to trust our own hearts above all else. Valentine's Day is soon approaching and this small original painting is a sweet reminder of how joyful love is. It's called "Heart of a Party" and it's a 4" x 4" original acrylic on canvas. The sides are painted as well, so no need to frame. It sits on a dresser or bookshelf, or may be displayed on the wall in a kitchen, bathroom, or hallway - wherever you and your sweetheart would want to see it every day.

I love Valentine's Day. It's a day to celebrate love in so many ways. Love between couples, love for friends, children, the earth, God, ourselves. It's hearts and flowers and chocolate, and dinners out with candlelight, wine and sweet conversation. It's a day of romance, poetry and coming together.

Wherever you are this Valentine's Day, and whomever you are with, I wish you love.
