Hey there ,

Did you notice that you didn't see me in your inbox yesterday?

I spent the day with my friends, (who have become family) but didn't forget about you!

This week (tomorrow) is all about Valentines and love. I think it's important to express love romantically and towards the people around us whom we assume they "know" that they are loved. And in some cases, the ones who don't know how to love us back are the ones who need it the most.

It's befitting that 1 Samuel 7 (in summary) says, "The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart". Good character will always supersede appearances and gestures. So as we approach the 14th, I hope that you give (and receive) love in many different ways, that makes a lasting impression beyond this week.

Of course, it wouldn't be me I didn't leave you a few recipes if you wanted to say "I love you" on a plate, like these 2:

French Toast Hearts

Cardamom Rose Latte

If you want more, I have a post on my Love Day favorite recipes here.

As always I love you!

And Until Next time...
