Beloved, Happy Valentines Day. I have a LOVE STORY that you will SEE YOUR OWN STORY within. We all feel it. A vigilance for justice and new resurging freedom in the coming year as the Fire Horse takes the lead. The blaze ignites suppressed collective forces and pushes survival systems past their breaking points. We are entering a new era where authority shifts from systems and structures to the visceral intelligence of the spirit intelligence. So as we mark the end of survival as the organizing principle and the beginning of heart opening aliveness…….ultimately we are: Choosing Love Out Loud Right now, more than ever, we are collectively craving one thing —safety. Not just physical safety, but the kind that lets us exhale fully. The kind that allows our shoulders to drop, our hearts to soften, and our nervous systems to rest. We are living in a world that feels uncertain. The division, the pace, the pressure— all rising. And in the midst of it, many of us are quietly asking: Where can I feel safe? Where can I return to myself? For me, this question has shaped everything. My life’s work has been about nurturing this very feeling— -creating spaces, -rituals, and deep connections that help others remember ….in what it feels like to truly rest inside the light within ourselves. And recently, something sacred arrived in my life, a presence I call Love—and I want to honor her arrival with the reverence she deserves. But before I introduce you to her, I want to share a bit about the journey that brought us together. I believe it holds a mirror to so many of our own paths. The Power of the Path Two years ago, I put my name on a waitlist for a litter of puppies. At the time, I didn’t realize what I was actually signing up for. It would take two full years to finally be granted first pick. Two years of waiting. Two years of wondering if it would ever happen. Looking back, I see that those two years were not a delay—they were a divine invitation. My angels and guides used that time to do deep, quiet work within me. To clear out old stories. To help me soften into the truth of who I am. I wasn’t just waiting for a puppy. I was being prepared to receive Love. Choosing a Different Kind of Life During that time, I was also navigating a life that doesn’t follow the traditional script. No marriage. No children. Just me, my work, and the sacred space I hold for others. It’s a path that has asked me to shed layers of perfectionism and comparison. To stop apologizing for what my life doesn’t look like. And instead, to honor what it is: creative, spiritual, intentional. I’ve learned that we often shrink what we love in order to stay safe. But that shrinking is an illusion. Real safety comes from expansion. From saying, This is what I love. This is what I’m building - the Kingdom of God in a stolen world - offering us a opportunity of lifetimes. Meeting Love And now, she’s about here. Five more weeks. A small, grounded being with soft eyes and a quiet strength. She’s not here to selfishly fill a emptiness - She’s here to be. To embody what I’ve been learning. I’ve had many visions of us channeling together. To walk with me through the streets, into my salon, into the hearts of those we meet. She is Love, made visible. And she is a reminder that one regulated nervous system—just one—can shift the energy of a room. Of a day. Of a life. Anchors for the Journey Are you working through uncertainty right now? If so, I want to offer you a few anchors that have helped me: Keep Your Vision Bright.Your imagination is sacred. It’s not a distraction—it’s a direction. Follow it. Serve with Boundaries.You can love people deeply without abandoning yourself. Evolve at Your Own Pace.The world will try to rush you. Don’t let it. Go slow. Go deep. Stay Cheerful Inside.Not toxic positivity—but a quiet cheerfulness. A kind of spiritual defiance that says, I still believe in beauty. There Is No Finish Line.There is only today. Only the practice. Only the breath. Love as a Frequency Love is a resonance that needs no words. It’s not weakness. It’s alignment. It’s power. When we choose to become love—not just give it, but become it—it meets us back in ways we could never have planned. That’s what’s happening for all of us - now. ❤️ I love you. May you find the safety to soften. May you choose Love, out loud. And may you FEEL the Love choosing you right back. ❤️ Love, Kassandra OOOH! PS: On Christmas Eve, I surprised my parents by putting money down for their own little puppy to enter their lives. To my delight, they said yes! This week, they welcomed little Albert. I’m SO in love with my parents, and now I have another love in my life as we welcome this new addition to their home, filling it with even more joy. He’s just so adorable. PPS: If you have a dog or also in the pursuit…….please hit reply, as I am creating a epic journey to support the sacred naming process.Yup. I’ve already started a SACRED DOG naming journey (or meaning to a current dog’s name). Here’s a sneak peek of how it curates the energy and spiritual connection with “LOVE.” Origin & Etymology Derived from Old English lufu, and rooted in the Proto-Germanic lubō, “Love” is a word that has transcended language to become a universal vibration. It is not bound by culture, creed, or species—it is the essence that binds all. Core Meaning Unconditional affection, divine union, and the highest vibrational field available to sentient beings. Love is the frequency that dissolves fear, heals wounds, and magnetizes abundance. How “Love” Filters the Energy of the Heart and Home The name “Love” acts as a harmonic tuning fork. Each time it is spoken, it initiates a subtle recalibration of the home’s energetic field—transmuting conflict, anchoring presence, and inviting softness. Your dog becomes a walking reminder of your soul’s true north. This name is especially potent in spaces where healing, forgiveness, or heart-centered leadership are needed. It is not passive—it is powerful. The Seed Sound: Why “Love” Resonates Phonetically, “Love” is a single-syllable seed sound. The soft “L” opens the heart chakra gently, while the “V” vibrates through the throat and solar plexus, encouraging expression and emotional courage. Spoken slowly—“Luhv”—it becomes both a mantra and a medicine. The Name Decree (The Scroll) ✦ ✦ ✦By the power of presence, and in honor of the sacred bond between human and guardian soul,I hereby decree the name of this Spiritual Ambassador to be: ✦ LOVE ✦ May this name be spoken with reverence,May its frequency ripple through every corner of our home,And may its essence awaken truth, tenderness, and transformation. This name is not given lightly—it is offered as a gift, a vibration, a vow. So it is spoken. So it shall be. ✦ ✦ ✦ The Light Between is a reader-supported publication.
