Inspire Love with Journaling

Journaling is a true anchor, a way to tether to the ground beneath our lives. It is also a way to nourish love. It is a way to come home to the self. We all need that coming home.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and this inspired these Journaling for Love prompts, to nourish the love within you and all around you and in our world. Love matters. Let’s make love ripple out and all around us in the pages of our journals and beyond. šŸ’—
