Hello lovely ladies (and maybe a couple awesome men),

Is it easy for you to say I love you? I remember going on a vacation with the company I represented years ago with a bold, loving, wise and fun couple that role modeled ending every call home to their kids with, “Love you!”

I was thinking to myself. I DO love my kids. But I do not end my phone calls that way. I complimented my friends Mary and Howard on their intimate, playful, loving response and they SIMPLY replied: Well, just start SAYING IT! Just start ending your next call with “Love you!”

I’m happy to report that that was in 2007. And I haven’t stopped!

13 years later every one of my kids proudly ends our calls that way regardless of where they are or what they’re doing! Now I hear funny stories of my kids ending a call to one of their teachers or a work call by accidentally spouting back with “LOVE YOU” as they hung up! 😂😂😂

This is a tiny thing that has paid HUGE dividends. Now my emerging adult kids (ages 18, 20, 20 and 24) call me and share their life, include me in their decisions, share the highs and the lows, and probably more important than anything: they say it/feel it/live it TO EACH OTHER!! (ah…I acknowledge all the parents out there. We did something right! Let’s celebrate.)

Life is actually REALLY SIMPLE!

All we need is LOVE!

Sending love,

xo,

Beth
