Blossom5 months agoBlossomMy niece who lost two sisters and her father in a time span of a few months, her mother (my sister) died some time ago. Without being intrusive, I want her to know she is not alone and she is loved. 0 Reply Layla5 months agoLaylaMyself. Pandemic stress has been affecting my sleep and body in bad ways. In the past, I’d take out my frustrations on myself, which just increased my suffering. So, I’ve been exercising some softness and self-kindness. 2 Reply Antoinette5 months agoAntoinetteThis early morning I drove my youngest to his first day on the job. I told him I loved and wished him success on his first day. 4 Reply MEG5 months agoMEGI have expressed my love to my dearest ones, including to those that I am not able (distance) to do it in person. 2 Reply ADP5 months agoADPI have expressed love to my husband of 26 years, we have started connecting on a different level the past year. I have expressed love to the children I teach on a daily basis. I need to do much more expressing than I do. I need to express love daily to coworkers, strangers everyone I come in contact with. Sometimes it is hard to show love to others, I just need to find peace within me and show love no matter the circumstance or situation. 3 Reply Eare5 months agoEareMy dad has been in the hospital for months now, in and out of isolation as there are Covid outbreaks in the unit. When he is in isolation, the only contact I have with him is by phone, and as his hearing is weak, conversation is often difficult. Yet he never fails to hear my "I love you Dad", and responds with a deep warmth in his voice, "I love you too." I treasure our conversation and shared expressions of love today.

Read More4 Reply devy5 months agodevyRather than constantly saying i love you To my spouse i show her my compassion and understanding of her personal difficulties and times she’s experiencing. By lending an ear and letting her work on things without me interjecting my thoughts.i used to tell her I love you frequently but I realized that I was saying it because of my own insecurities. I expressed love to myself by giving self praise, positive affirmations. 4 Reply Journey5 months agoJourneyA standing joke between me and my 21 year old son. I say ‘I love you’. He replies ‘thank you’. Too funny! But then when he walks past me, he pats me on the head and says ‘love you mom’. I tell my husband I love him all the time as well and he replies ‘talk is cheap’.!! It doesn't stop me from talking and saying it though :-). And while he is a man of few words he shows me his love everyday by his actions and by always putting me first. Truly blessed to have a wonderful selfless...A standing joke between me and my 21 year old son. I say ‘I love you’. He replies ‘thank you’. Too funny!

It’s so vast and beyond. I express my love to the planet. And the animals. And us. ALL OF US. How wild! How amazing! 4 Reply Emmaleah5 months agoEmmaleahI make sure I express my love to my little boy every day. It’s an easy task to do because he absolutely makes my heart burst. 😍 4 Reply Linda5 months agoLindaI say I love you to my husband many times a day. During this difficult time of Covid, he is a steady presence, and helps me stay calmer than I would be otherwise. He is a gem. 5 Reply Ose5 months agoOseSometimes expressing it in words, sometimes in deeds, sometimes silently in heart´s vibes, expressing it towards my dear friends here through calling, listening carefully to each other, cooking together or be there for another when ill, visiting; to my dear friend Sabine, a treasure of a friend, speaking with each other almost every week via phone or ZOOM,for just exchanging our life´s up´s and down´s as well as sharing professionals.

We introduced her dog to my guinea pig. Her dog, rescued from Tijuana, goes berserk over squirrels, and of course he went berserk over my guinea pig, too, who sat, oblivious to the dog, eating in her well secured cage. 3 Reply Sherri5 months agoSherriTo my husband of nearly 47 years, I express my love to him and for him, many times a day. “I love you” is a frequent statement to one another and really meaning it is important. 5 Reply Barb C5 months agoBarb CMy daughters who are far away–one 300 miles and one over 4,000 miles away. We have a WhatsApp group to “talk” between video calls; we share links, ask questions, share news or thoughts. Some mornings I read them a poem that has moved me and always end that with “Love you, babies”. My husband, who is my partner and my sweetie, every single day. 6 Reply Beth5 months agoBethAfter a much delayed call to my sister in another state, we ended our call with "I love you." It was more deeply felt than a casual refrain. She is caring for her mother as she approached her end of life. My sister also cared lovingly for our father in his later years. (Her mother is my step-mother, but I hate "step" tags. Family is family.) We started our conversation with "oh I'm sorry I've been sooo busy..." I wanted her to know how much I love and respect her for all she's done and the treme...After a much delayed call to my sister in another state, we ended our call with “I love you.” It was more deeply felt than a casual refrain.

Family is family.) We started our conversation with “oh I’m sorry I’ve been sooo busy…” I wanted her to know how much I love and respect her for all she’s done and the tremendous example she’s been to her children (and frankly, mine — who I have no doubt would do the same.) I love that she’s been a caregiver to her parents. I love that she provides a safe and loving home for her children and husband. I love that she has friends far and near. I love that she stays connected to her sisters and brother who all live far away. Did I mention she is our baby sister too? I love you sister! Read More9 Reply foo625 months agofoo62My son, who prompted me to chat a little longer than I had planned. We had taken care of the goal of the call, and he kept me on the phone just to chat. It was sweet and a good reminder to slow down and enjoy the people around me. 6 Reply Elle5 months agoElleNot-a-person, but important to me- The Creator of my soul. Then also, my 85 years of age neighbor & some other neighbors around the corner.....my soul sister/sister-in-law, plus my Mom & Stepdad. Another not-a-person..... the full Moon the other night & nature outside my bedroom window. Oh yeah- and the Shamrock plant I thought was dead [because I forgot about it for a couple months, OOPS] but discovered when I was going to throw it's dirt out that it is a REALLY HARDY plan...Not-a-person, but important to me- The Creator of my soul.

Oh yeah- and the Shamrock plant I thought was dead [because I forgot about it for a couple months, OOPS] but discovered when I was going to throw it’s dirt out that it is a REALLY HARDY plant, it was growing underneath the surface {so} I did some repotting & I’m believing for it’s best {smile}.
