The cost to spread love does not need to be a steep price tag!
The idea to write a word or draw a picture for each of my daughters for the month of February is not an original idea by me. I am certain I saw it on Pinterest years ago, but here the custom continues to grow.
My ideas, creativity and writing can feel dormant for long stretches. Today, I wrote a quick poem-more a stream of conscience. I will likely work on this poem 10 years down the road. The original is really brainstorming. I will try to write the poem different ways and in different styles. I might write a list of what love looks like. I might write a love sonnet and incorporate a door metaphor.
The important objective with my blog is that it scratches me to write. It is not polished. An editor did not read this. I never catch all my mistakes, but it is a place to settle some down drafts.
We are doing a lot to keep our spirits alive during lockdown and that means tapping into our creativity. The girls want to make Valentine boxes and have a party. It sounds like love fun and I am in!

Love is not a new emotion. Writers, poets and mothers have been expressing love since the beginning of humankind. The creative and fun challenge is to write or express love using words (or ideas) that no one has used before.
