Love.

Love. A many splendored thing!

This month our society (over)emphasizes romantic love, but there are so many more types of love than this. In fact, our learned valuation of romantic love can distract us from the immense love we have around us every day. The deep, affirming kind of love we get from a best friend. The rock solid love we feel for our siblings - those with whom we share some of our most poignant and formative memories. Then there’s the absolutely flooring love of a twin flame…the kind of person you speak with in conversations punctuated by enthusiastic ‘OH my gosh, ME TOO!’s. It feels so good to be accepted and loved. Let’s not downplay the massive role of MANY forms of love we get to experience.

May you celebrate the love in your life today, including love for:

❣️ Romantic partners
❣️ Soul mates
❣️ Nieces and nephews
❣️ Pets
❣️ The earth
❣️ Children
❣️ Work buddies
❣️ Friends
❣️ Twin flames
❣️ Favorite foods
❣️ Sunshine
❣️ Hobbies
❣️ Flowers

...and everything in between. Love who and what you love, unabashedly!
