The Language and Art of Love

We often think of LOVE in its form as a noun:

A person...

I LOVE DIOR!

A place... 

I LOVE THE BEACH.

OR thing...

I LOVE CHOCOLATE

or vanilla, of course. 

We sometimes dESIRe these things based on how they make us 

FEEL.  
C'est BON!

As a VERB however,

whose job is to tell us what to DO,

love requires a bit more creativity and even risk

for this challenges us to DEMONSTRATE an otherwise ordinary deed

in an EXTRAORDINARY

and unique way

 that can change the course of a life. 

We need not look very far to find out how we can make a difference in the world

for the possibilities are within short reach in the small things.

What would you add to your list?

I would add the verb, SPRINKLE.

WHY?

I have received countless gestures of love just from Blogland alone these past two years

(Thank you dear friends from Nowhere, elsewhere in the world, The Netherlands and Canada)

but today I would like to direct you to a friend whose art came my way this week

  in which she sprinkled parts of my life's history

my home

and my passions with her heart.

Violet Skiles from 
Create Beauty
certainly knows how to dust
the right amount of love and grace
to the everyday things of my life that I may take for granted.

She is having a special giveaway this weekend and if you have a moment, tap on her door

then DO something EXTRAORDINARY to make someone feel special! 
Merci TOUTES MES AMIES
