Seven Ways to Remember Love
- Listen deeply. When a friend or loved one share their story listen with your whole heart.
- Give small surprises. Leave a note or small gift, maybe a heart candle, for someone you care about.
- Anonymous acts of kindness. Pay for someone’s coffee or groceries. Maybe leave an uplifting note in a public space for someone else to find.
- Express gratitude. Share a gratitude poem or simply remember to say thank you for the kindness of others.
- Advocate for others. Give a donation to help a cause you believe in. As we recover from the Los Angeles Fires, consider donating to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund or World Central Kitchen.
- Volunteer. When we help others in a food kitchen or nonprofit the shared experience grows our feelings of love.
-
Celebrate. Host an unexpected celebration of a person you care about. It could be a party or a simple meeting for coffee!
