Our favorite way to feel love …

Dear Friends,

Scientists study and measure oxytocin, or the feel-good hormone, that accompanies love. It’s found naturally when we feel joyful, connected, hopeful, loved. And scientists can watch as it broadens our outlook and encourages our growth.

Love literally nurtures, sustains, energizes, and inspires us to be our best, to be bigger than we thought was big. It reduces fear and suspicion, without reducing our ability to calculate risk. It keeps babies, who are dependent on caregivers, alive!

We can feel love with strangers, acquaintances, friends, siblings, and parents. But, perhaps, our favorite way to feel love is with somebody who is exclusively ours, somebody who is ours to touch in private places, who reaches the deepest part of who we are, who knows us down to the core, and loves us no matter what.

I wish you love!
