Thanks for joining me on another Sunday.

Today, I am sending you pink peonies in old-fashioned Mason jar.

 I send you a wide landscape filled with golden hills and brown spotted cows.

 I send you dramatic ocean-side cliffs, crashing waves, and happy sea gulls.

In today’s audio LoveGram we are chatting together as we pause alongside Pacific Coast Highway, at a farm stand between Pescadero and Half Moon Bay.

In the LoveGram you get to hear some of my big takeaways from a women’s retreat where we were looking at the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on the Loneliness Epidemic and how we can each initiate and elevate friendships so we feel more deeply connected.

Whether you are content with the number and quality of your friendships or are wanting more/different friendships, I encourage you to listen to today’s LoveGram.

Friends are the diamonds in our own backyard and there are always ways to connect with them more deeply, appreciate them more creatively, and enjoy them more thoroughly. 

Take time today to listen to this short audio and reflect on what role YOUR various friends play in your life.

💥💓💥

I challenge you to be the one to initiate and elevate connections.

So many people are feeling lonely and disconnected. They may be shy or insecure. They may think everyone else is too busy or already has enough time with friends.

Reach out. Offer a tiny invitation and see what it leads.

YOU will feel the joy in extending yourself. I promise.

💥💓💥

I see you.

I can feel your beautiful, open, and generous heart.

I know you want to be as loving as possible for people in your life.

I know you are doing the best you can.

Can you see yourself as a leader in your circle of friends or in your family? Try it on and see what happens!  

I believe it you and in your gifts of love!

Seek celebration — even in dark corners,

xo Sherry
