unsolicited

kisses and hugs from sage is like wringing my heart out. (even if i have her in my auntie "death grip" and i asked her for a kiss). when i mentioned in an earlier post that i have a lot to learn about love from her, i wasn't just making that up. one of the beautiful things about kids is that they are unfiltered...and although it can be annoying/frustrating/bothersome at times...there's something so right about it too. i want to be more like sage and show&tell people that i love them exactly in the moment that i'm feeling it. the catch is actually allowing myself to feel loved and remaining open to it all the time.

when we experience an outpour of love in our lives, i believe we're able to extend that same goodness + more, to others around us.

i could just devour this lil sweetpea!
