06: LOVE LETTERS

 

 

Hello Beautiful Readers,

 

We are so glad to be back with our sixth edition, after our bi-annual edition-free month. During this time we've been working hard creating some beautiful resources based around the concept of celebrating yourself through all circumstances. Both Reflect and Celebrate and Letters of Love are available now, with more coming soon!

 

It's been an interesting time since we last penned one of these letters; with many highs and some challenging lows. We've found since the creation of Celebration of Self, that our lives seem to directly reflect each monthly theme - despite having chosen them many moons in advance...

 

Our first edition of Freedom saw B travelling and embracing the beauty of summer, while together we embarked on this new venture towards a life we both desire. It was during The Fall that B's marriage unexpectedly ended. Connection was the backdrop to forming new friendships and making new contacts around the world. Meanwhile, Wonder was curated at a time when Jessica was in awe of many full circle moments in her life, including being able to travel with her parents in a way she hadn't been able to visualise during the depths of her Dad's mental health challenges.

 

This month's theme, Love Letters, has yet again been reflected in our own lives, with publication day falling on B's 14th Wedding Anniversary, but her 1st Wedding Anniversary since her separation; the first day in 14 years she has not penned a letter of love to the person she intended to spend her life with. The thought of this being the reality when we decided on this theme back in the summer was unimaginable, and the irony of its timing is not lost on us! 

 

With every low, there are always highs, and Jessica has been by B's side since the autumn with an immeasurable number of not only letters of love, but voice notes, gifts, spa days, homemade meals and cleaning: A beautiful and ever present reminder that love letters are not just shared between lovers, and are not limited to the written word.

 

As we go about our days, we endeavour to share love letters in our actions, words and in the physical form. As we love ourselves, we can also love others. Our Letters of Love prompts and templates are a beautiful place to start if you would like to share your thoughts and feelings with those you love, practice forgiveness as a path back to love, or remember and celebrate lost loved ones.

 

All our love,

Jessica and B-2
