“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ― John Lennon

This month’s collections focus primarily on relationships. Not only those that lead to marriage or partnership but the relationship with self-love. Also the relationship with our little ones or those that force unconditional love out of us and reciprocate that in such a strong way. Love is a big idea. I do hope that everyone is able to experience it once or more in their lifetime. My hope is that everyone feels loved. That my children feel it daily. Personally, I love seeing love in photography. For that one moment, all is well. Love is flourishing.

I hope you enjoy this beautiful collection!
