It's time for #OperationFebruary.
I cut out hearts. I put them into a bowl, some with writing on them. Some hearts say, "You are special to me." Others say, "I believe in you", which is a family favorite. Others are left blank where someone can express gratitude for an act of kindness, behavior or any other love fest they see another member commit in the course of the day.
I hung homeade, red "envelopes" marked with each family member's name. Nothing fancy; just stapled sides, with a slot at the top for the hearts to enter their new home. These artful wonders are taped to our dining room chandelier, so we won't have opportunity to forget that Operation February is serious business.
Each day in February, someone can help raise the love vibration in our home through these cut-out pieces of paper. Although they're just words, they're so much more. As we all know, sticks and stones can break bones, AND words can hurt.
#OperationFebruary aims to bring back love in our home, where it belongs. Words of kindness. Words that help another feel esteem and joy. I will post back as to how we are all faring.
Care to join us this February? It's never too late to start, because we all can use a dose of love!
