Love and Loyalty

On this day we celebrate LOVE. While Valentine’s day is most often associated with romantic love between two people, this day is a pleasant reminder of both the power of love and the wonderful gift it is to share with the people around you.

Love does amazing things. It truly can conquer all. It’s humble, it’s selfless, and an energy force that can bring us all together.

In a world that has become incredibly self-centered, consuming, narcissistic, ‘all about me’ social media feeds, LOVE, not of self, but others, and surely of God, can stop you in your tracks...

Help you step out of the negative noise, remove oneself from the senseless distractions, hit pause on the day’s current hustle, take a few deep breaths, and place your thoughts and attention on the many wonderful people and relationships you are so blessed to have.

The ones that have helped you along your journey. Through the good and the bad. The triumphs and the trials.

Your parents, grandparents, siblings, close friends, coaches, mentors and colleagues.

But don’t stop there. Include the people that you count on daily to help you do what you do and get where you need to go. Just think about your day, and all the people you encounter during it.

From the barista at your local coffee shop, to the delivery person that brings your packages to your door. Your employees or co-workers that help you create and produce quality work.

LOVE is an emotion and a feeling. But it’s also mindset and belief that none of us is greater than another.

We are all God’s children, made in his image, saved by Grace, set free by the Truth of Jesus’ crucification and resurrection.

"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,"

- Ephesians 2:4

The point I hope to inspire within you is to make LOVE a top priority in your life and be loyal to it. To encourage you to ACT first. A simple warm smile to greet the people you are passing by in your day is a powerful example. One, we all can easily do.

The people you see regularly, tell them you value and appreciate them.

For the people you haven’t seen or spoken to in a while, send them a text, email, or better yet, a call to tell them the same.

Whichever you choose to do today, do it out of love, appreciation, gratitude. Not for anything other than LOVE.

I promise you this will be healthy for your soul and do wonders to help you keep your eyes focused on what matters most. The good and positive.

And that my friend is what we call at Dulci Sweets, “Goodness Created to be shared.”

I love and appreciate you. The way you Show Up each day to be a shining light in the world. Committed to making a positive impact in the world around you.

Keep shining Bright and Know You Are Loved,

Brock & Mike, Founders of Dulci Sweets
