I read a book coming into the new year that encouraged giving more than we take. Fundamentally, for me, that’s what love has looked like.

Love can be nuanced, vulnerable, and selfless. lt’s the most abundant thing we get to experience and offer during our time here on earth. In my opinion, it takes clear intention, balanced effort, and two open hearts to sustain it.

The beauty of love is how it helps us return to—and—see ourselves more clearly. Revolutionary times require revolutionary love, and that takes work.

Sometimes the gray moments can serve as pillars of growth, choice, commitment, and seeing the love through.
