THE FOUR GIFTS
The Invitation
to Love
by Cheryl L. Bassitt
There are some invitations we accept without knowing exactly where they’ll lead.
Something about them simply touches our heart.
This is one of those invitations.
Join us in a journey of four simple, yet profound gifts that are certain to change us - to see differently, listen more deeply,
honor one another, and become more aware of who we are and who we came here to be.
LOVE
LISTENING
RESPECT
AWARENESS
They have changed the way I love, listen, see people, and move through the world.
They have opened doors in my own life that were closed and some that I didn’t even know existed.
They are not a self-help program, a curriculum, a set of guidelines, a blueprint to follow or even a conversation that can only happen at the kitchen table.
They are gifts…and together, they reveal a way of being in the world.
This book is your invitation to experience them in your life.
LOVE IS MEANT TO EXPAND
Love has an extraordinary capacity to expand.
The more we share it, the more room we seem to make for it.
If we’re not careful, we can also begin drawing circles around families, beliefs, religions, communities, and people.
Circles around who’s good enough and who isn’t. Who belongs and who doesn’t.
What is worthy and what is not.
But Love isn’t ours to circle. It isn’t ours to guard.
Love is meant to shine.
And so are we.
This book invites us to imagine what might happen if we stopped drawing circles and started opening our hearts.
The Lens That Connects the Four Gifts
The Invitation to See What’s Possible
THE LENS OF LOVE
The Lens of Love doesn't ask us to see a different person.
A different world.
It invites us to see differently.
To become curious before we become certain.
To see the person beyond the moment.
To notice what we may have stopped noticing.
To remember there is almost always more to the story.
To never lose sight that beyond the news headlines, beauty and kindness still exist.
Love doesn't ask us to look away. It asks us to see more.
The Lens of Love isn't another Gift to unwrap. It's the heartbeat that brings all Four Gifts to life.
FOUR GIFTS. ONE INVITATION TO LOVE.
LOVE
The Invitation to Celebrate
Give Love hands and feet. Celebrate the people in your life, including yourself, while you still have the chance.
LISTENING
The Invitation to Connect
Pull up a chair. Be present for the conversations that matter, and make room for a peace the noise of the world cannot steal.
RESPECT
The Invitation to Honor
See the person in front of you. Hear the idea you might have dismissed. You don't have to walk in someone else's shoes to honor the person wearing them.
AWARENESS
The Invitation to Become
Pay attention. Life is always showing us something. Look closely enough and you get to uncover more of who you came here to be.
GET CURIOUS
WHAT MIGHT YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ACCEPTING THIS INVITATION?
WHAT MIGHT YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF ACCEPTING THIS INVITATION?
THIS BOOK ISN'T ASKING FOR YOUR PERFECTION.
IT'S ASKING FOR YOUR HEART.
Imagine finding a little more peace in a world filled with chaos.
Having the conversation you've been avoiding.
Extending the grace.
Not missing the chance to celebrate those you love while they are still here.
Realizing how much of your life has been waiting for you to notice it.
You're awake for it. All of it!
WHEN WE COME ALIVE SO DO OTHERS
Our families feel it.
Our conversations change
The person across the table feels heard
People are drawn to us
And what begins within us starts moving outward.
That's how a ripple begins. That’s how love expands.
