Love is in the air…

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….
