This week I found a great website for Childs i foundation that listed ways to give–
money, time and rather brilliantly they included love..

Its that time of the year when we are all supposed to get loved up for valentines
day. I was on a train recently when a woman was having a phone conversation. As 
she reached the sign off, she lowered her voice and in a rather muffled, muted tone
whispered “love you too”. We do seem to have a problem with public declarations 
don’t we?

I found a piece of research on love letters that I have shared and from which I 
have set a challenge

I wonder what the results will be? Our odd approach to private loving can sometimes
inform our public approach…if we can just connect a bit more with ourselves and 
those closest to us, just think how we could love our donors a bit more….
