Hi Friend,
That was one long and heavy January.
To be honest, I debated pausing my newsletter for the first time since I published The Monthly Digest four years ago. But then I realized that staying silent wouldn't align with my values – and Valentine’s Day was just around the corner.
While some may see February 14 as a cheesy, commercial holiday, I believe that Valentine's Day is a reminder of the love around us, and the opportunity to be love to others.
In a time that feels scary and uncertain for many of us, I hold onto this: there is more love than hate in the world, and love will win if we all do the right thing and fight for it.
So this month, please reach out to people who you care about. Speak up. Stay curious. Be kind to your neighbors and those you work with. We are in this together.
