We can't help but associate the month of February to Valentine's Day. There are reminders everywhere! Here are some of my thoughts about this red-letter day:
1. Valentine's isn't just about Romantic Love
I'm an active participant of More Love Letters, a community of letter writers empowering people in need all over the world. Every month, they put out a list of individuals facing tough times and all we have to do is mail them a letter of support. Hundreds of letters arrive at their doorstep and just imagine how this can instantly brighten their day and turn it from blah to TADA! You can read some of the inspiring stories here and if you want to participate, there is more information here.
Here is one of the cards I made.
A teacher sent out a request for Valentine Cards for her classroom. She was hoping to get a card from every State (and even other parts of the world). I'm pretty sure the kids feel excited when a card arrives in the mail and they look at the map to find out where the card was mailed from. A lesson in kindness and geography!
Why not write a letter or do an act of generosity? The world is filled with loneliness and small gesture can turn their day from blah to TADA!
2. Show Yourself some Self Love
I came across this quote and I just had to share it with you. Let's all live it!
3. Lean-in to all things Heart-shaped and Love-themed
