a month of love

"Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.” Dieter F. Uchtdorf

i'm all about having a whole month to celebrate the ones i love. and while i don't believe that buying a box of chocolates is the best way to express love (aside from the fact that i don't LIKE chocolate), i am happy to relish in the thought of giving love freely to those around me. i see it's power and feel of it's influence in my life daily, and i want to spend the next few weeks learning to loving more fully and whole-heartedly. not just with heart-shaped cookies, and red lipstick, but with extending forgiveness, looking to serve, and spreading joy. wishing you a february (and a year!) full of love.

what will you do this month to show your love?
