With the sweetest and smallest of actions we can create moments of Everyday Love.

My birthday falls at the end of the July, and as far as I’m concerned the day after is the start of fall.

Against ALL signs that fall is no where close to arriving, I get out my decor, my sweaters, my fall scented essential oils, and I will fall to come just a little bit faster.

Filling my days with everyday loving activities and routines has always been my jam, but this time of year, I tend to amp things up just a bit.

After a summer of uncertainty, let’s all create some intentional Everyday Love in our lives. What if instead of focusing on all that is out of our hands, we simply made a conscious effort to see the good that is still found everywhere, every day.

Charcuterie boards, cozy blanket, new diffuser blends, red wine, good books, gratitude, and warm yummy coffee - these are things that I am intentionally bringing into my fall.

These are things I will be building around my time spent with friends and family as well as my time spent alone.

I just love having things that I can reach for that make ordinary everyday moments turn into magical moments filled with everyday love.

What are your favorite things about fall?

Dear Friends,

This journey has brought me closer and closer to a place of living my life through nothing but love. Everyday I feel my heart swell with gratitude and beat with joy that I am here walking this path and sharing this dream with the world.

The past few months, I have learned so much from opening my heart and sharing it. These are a few of the things that choosing to act with intentional love has taught me.

The Things I Learned From Love

I have learned that the most important kind of love in your life is the love you create and give freely. The kind of love that walks straight out of your heart and lives in the world because of you. That is the kind of love that created ripples of change. Without a doubt The Beatles said it best, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

Even though every person in this world is walking their own uniquely beautiful path, we all need and strive from connection. There is almost something magical that happens when people gather together to connect and grow. I have taken great stock of this over the past few months. Connection, radical connection, there is nothing quite like it. I am not talking about a friendly hello, I am talking about that moment when someone you just met says something that speaks directly to your soul or when through happenstance you stumble upon a love letter written for anyone but somehow only meant for you. It is so easy to walk passively through your day not taking time to notice those around you. I am learning that those people, those strangers all have a story to tell, they have a wise word or two to share, and if given the chance just might share it. Through love I have learned that it is better together.

I have learned that it takes the tiniest of loving gestures to truly make a difference in someones life. A good morning text, a fresh cup of coffee, or a love letter written just for them all have the power to change the course of someone’s day or maybe even life. You hold the power to facilitate that change. You are the secret ingredient to a more loving world. Everything begins and ends with you and your heart. Taking the time each day to show love to the people around you has the ability to light a fire of love that could burn in their hearts for eternity. What beautiful and perfect potential that is to change the world.

I have learned that the words you write that are meant to be shared with others are sometimes the words that your heart most needs to hear.

I have learned that the love you most need is not found from an outside source, but from within.

I have learned that love can be defined using infinitely different definitions.

I have learned that love is a verb.

I have learned that I am love.

xoxo,

Nicole
