IT’S TIME FOR A BOOK RECOMMENDATION! I read All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks over the weekend and it’s all I have been thinking about since I finished it last night. The book talks about defining love, and how love is an action not a feeling. bell hooks beautifully walks through the different aspects of love, and the actions we can take to live in a “love ethic.” This means loving wholeheartedly, forgiving frequently, behaving generously, and choosing love instead of fear.
I kept noticing how this book felt extremely timely for what we’re going through. In this chaotic, uncertain time, love is the one thing we have control over. Every single day, we can choose to live in love instead of fear, and when we do that, death and chaos have no hold over us. It does not mean we cannot feel the pain of the present moment, but it means that we do not need to live in fear.
So, today, choose love. And also choose this book as your next read.
