Well my dear Yankee Doodle Paddy Friends, we made it! Yes February, the Month of LOVE, has come and gone. 28 days and 29 posts and I for one feel more inspired, more energized and more connected. And connected is an important aspect of this Guest Blogger Series. We may come into this world alone and leave it alone, but it is utterly and truly about the connections we make along the way. To see these guest bloggers connect with each other, support and encourage each other has been amazing. And it is doubly awesome to see readers connect too, offering words of kindness through comments on here and social media. I’m in awe and blown away!
As I have done the first year of this series and again last year, I will post below links to all the stories and a brief synopsis. This is sort of a landing page to make it easier for you to access all the LOVE stories. I would encourage you to have a read of the ones you might have missed or go back and read again those stories that resonated with you. And I have included the songs which I played for the Snapchat reveal I did each day.

I want to thank all of you readers for taking this journey with us! I hope your hearts have been filled. I want to thank all the Guest Bloggers from the top, bottom and sides of my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your stories. I poured over every word and as a “curator” I wanted to make sure the stories were shown in their best light as you had intended. I loved adding quotes and music and basically jumping in the puddle of your LOVE! It has been my honor to host this Month of LOVE for a third year, and may there be many more in the years to come. Cuz the world could always use some more LOVE! So this is not the end, but merely the beginning…
never ending LOVE,
YDP
P.S. If you feel inspired, I hope you’ll write a love story for next February 2020. It is never too early to get started.
Thank you so much, Karen! You’re inspiring and such a great example of love.
Thank you, my sweet friend, for giving people a place to safely express themselves and share with the world. You yourself are a prime example of how love can, in fact, heal and change the world. xo
Thank you Karen for the opportunity to share my love story. You make an incredible, inspired effort each day to spread love. Thank you for all your hard work, you’re amazing!
Thanks for everything you do Karen xx
