Remember Love: Words for Tender Times Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 121 ratings

From the beloved, New York Times bestselling author of Heart Talk, a collection of prose and poetry that explores how we can find light in periods of lostness, love for ourselves after heartbreak, okay-ness in the midst of change, and strength in letting go.

How do we find steadiness within ourselves in the midst of dizzying personal and global change? 
 
At a time when many of us feel overwhelmed by fear and isolation, Cleo Wade’s
Remember Love offers intimate, uplifting words that anchor, nurture, and make us feel less alone.
 
She shares that the heart work we do for ourselves is not done to avoid the tough stuff—periods of lostness, self-doubt, depression, grief, heartbreak, and anxiety. Wade instead suggests that to live is to get lost, and it’s our task, our great privilege, to learn to love ourselves so that we can handle these periods and our discomfort does not block our healing.
Remember Love reminds us that lostness is not our permanent state but a starting point for self-discovery, connection, and growth.

From the Publisher

We don’t need to earn our own love. It’s our birthright.

It’s hard to love a stranger. It is extra hard when change has turned the stranger into you.

The divine investigation into your own heat is the education of your lifetime.

We rise, we fall, we change, we bloom – this is the process of healing. It is our nature.

Introduction


Poetry was my therapy before I could afford a therapist. Every time I have wondered, “How on earth am I going to get through this?” I turned to paper and pen. It is not possible to know the answers to all of life’s questions or problems. Most of them don’t even have answers, they simply request that we let go, learn from, or live with what happens to us. Because of that, I have found that what we really need is comfort and good company as we make our way. We are tender beings living in a tender time. I think a lot of us are wondering, “How on earth am I going to get through this? How on earth are we going to get through this?”

It is helpful to believe that you and we will get through this. It is also helpful to know that you are not alone. I wrote this book in hopes it could offer a hand to pull you up if you feel stuck, a companion that will be by your side and walk with you no matter where you’re going or what you are going through.

Remember Love is a collection of poems and ideas that moved me. They moved me from one mood to another. They moved me from a fear-based decision to a grounded choice. They moved me from a frenzied spiral to a moment of pause. They moved me from shame and confusion to love and okay-ness. These words helped me get somewhere new when I needed newness the most. They helped me befriend change and re-enter my own light when I had felt lost in the dark for a really long time.

I hope this book helps you feel your light again if things have been dim. I hope it feels like a friend who loves you. Truly, that is why I wrote it.

The world is not staying the same and neither are we, but we are going to be okay. I believe that. And I am so thankful we have each other. Community will carry us through. As will poetry, art, and, of course, deep and lively love. Let us remember that. Let us remember love.

Love forever & ever,

Cleo Wade

This book lit a fire in me that I cannot explain but am eternally grateful for. I started reading it in the midst of an unhappy relationship and it gave me the perspective and power to demand more for myself. It helped me be patient and loving to myself during a very hard time. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to reconnect to themselves and see love in a new way.

    This is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read. The work 'tender' on the book cover caught my attention because I thought "When do we ever think about being tender- to ourselves and others?' I have this book on my desk and will pick it up and open to a page for inspiration, and a smile. One of my favorites is "It is a profound act of love to choose who you are going to be instead of living in response to who has hurt you and what has happened to you..." This book reinforces that we have choices every day on how we choose to live, and love. This is one of my "life books" that I read to bring me some joy and peace. I highly recommend that you buy this book and savor it.

    This was a gift for my partner at the time. We’re no longer today but we’d get up and read one or two everyday together and they were very cute. Sometimes perfect for what our situation was.

    I am a big Cleo Wade fan and this book was so beautifully written. I read the entire book in one sitting. Folded pages, underlined words and so many times I stopped to re-read her words. A must read and one of my go to gifts from now on.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2024
    I have a few of Cleo's books now and I was eager to get my hands on this. I love her style of writing, she has this way of making you feel connected to her and yourself. Really helped me reading this book, a lot of warming practical advice. You feel as though you are having a chat with a friend. Her poetry throughout the book is what can I say... just beautiful. It's a book that you will go back to. You can dip and dive if you choose. Beautifully written and a wealth of knowledge within the pages. The bottom line, love yourself even in your darkest moments. Thank you Cleo for putting the words we need to hear on paper. Highly recommend.
