Feel the Love
Winnie the Pooh and Piglet are walking through the Hundred Acre Woods when Piglet asks “How do you spell love?” Pooh ponders the questions briefly and answers “You don’t spell it, you feel it.” (AA Milne, Winnie the Pooh, 1926) Sometimes our biggest life lessons are learned in the simplest of ways – from a children’s book about a silly old bear.
February is the month that brings love to the forefront, but it really should be something we think about every day of the year. Here at The Mom & Caregiver, we are big proponents of loving yourself first, without feeling any quilt at all. Yes, we are talking to you mamas! “When we achieve this miraculous state of being, arguments, fear, and distrust fall away. People light up when we enter a room. Pleasant surprises and synchronicities become our new normal.” says Medium and Flow Coach Angie Aristone. Does this sound like something you’d like to experience? Find out more on page 9.
Need more convincing that now is the time to show yourself some love? Read our newest author’s “A Recipe for Creating Yourself”. Rebecca Hamilton is a business owner who is living the life of her dreams. She’ll show you how to take “full control of your life and craft your reality the way you’ve envisioned it to be” on page 22.
No one tells it like it is better than a grade five boy, right? We’ve got two of the best in our Kid Zone column. My heart was warmed when Charlie and Harrison described love in their own words. And my funny bone was tickled when they described how gross they find kissing in public to be!
February also brings Family Day, a holiday we usually look forward to as a day off of work and school to spend time together at home. Well, everyday has been Family Day for months now as families have all been squashed inside their houses, spending 24-7 in each other’s company! We hope you can find a unique way to relax and appreciate one another this February 15th.
Our Mom & Caregiver family wishes you a month and a year filled with love of all kinds. Start with self-love, then add on all other sources and kinds that you can. May family love, romantic love, brotherly and sisterly love, friendship and kindness fill your hearts!
