February is hallmarked as the month of love. Whether you are celebrating the season with a loved one or not, expressing love is an important action to be mindful of. Love is more than a feeling, it is an action. Love can be shown to the obvious such as family, friends, and neighbors, but it can also be a response to a person or situation that is challenging. Often, the best medicine for dealing with a tough person or situation is responding in love. Love can mean opening your heart to someone. Love does not have to be a drastic gesture, it can be a simple act of kindness. Showing someone love can mend relationships and can feel liberating to you. Here is a list of some ideas to start spreading love this month.
