Oooh I’m looking forward to this theme! I have tried unsuccessfully for years to finish all about love and I still have not reached the finished line. Maybe that should go on my March reading list to finally get through.

My take away: if you don’t love yourself… good damn luck

I've been wrestling with the concept of "you can't love anyone if you don't know how to love yourself." I'm definitely gonna be writing about this.

Love is more than a second hand emotion (I love that song, What's Love Got to Do With It).

I like to think love is the bridge vulnerability builds from one heart to another. It's the foundation that lets us know "I am safe with you". I also reference bell hooks as my touchpoint for love and use her definition wholeheartedly because it is just so damn good -" the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth."

Thanks for the read, Jolie. Be well.
