Discussion: Led by Love

Getting Started
You have been following my journey in the documentary, Dr. Dave and the Girl Who Couldn't Laugh: A Breadcrumb Quest for Joy. This week, you will reflect on another portion of the film and what it means to be led by love. Consider your own journey, your spiritual practices, and what it means to let love guide you in every aspect of your life.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

Integrate biblical principles with positive psychology concepts.

Background Information
"Let love be your guide" (Contemporary English Version, 1995, Ephesians 5:2(new tab)).
Almost halfway through my quest to get my life back, I traveled back to Cincinnati to be with family and friends for the month of December and the holidays. I was also inspired by the verse above from Ephesians to ‘let love guide me.'
In this week's documentary clip, you will see where love led me as I woke up every morning and I asked God and myself the question, "What would love to do today?" You will also be challenged to think about where life might lead you if you take time to be led by love.
