This post is dedicated to my mother - Lady G.A Awunor , mother In-law - Mrs Patricia O. Amadi-Emina, Ebi Abiyou and all those who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection.

Welcome to the month of love - February, and as is the culture at this time most persons are busy strategizing, budgeting and window shopping gift options for their loved ones.

As much as this sounds good, my observation in this part of the world is that most people are afraid of being expressive about LOVE every other day. Simple words like" I love you" go a long way to pacify a scared partner, parent, sibling /friend or better still assure them that someone truly cares. 

Whenever we bottle up these feelings it back fires with a dose of guilt when we lose them to other people or life's circumstances. Expressing your love by way of saying it or showing it doesn't make you a lesser man or woman than your peers. It's simply the wise thing to do. 

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” 

― Mother Teresa

"There is no fear in love, for perfect love casteth out all fear"

―1st John 4:18a

Make a resolution today to tell someone you love them, if you really do and don't wait till you have them no more, also show some love to someone in need no matter how little.
