Showing someone we care about them doesn’t have to mean extravagant dinner plans or enormous bouquets of flowers…
The simplest ways resonate the loudest. And to us, that means making time to spend fully present with one another - when the norm is to be rushing through life, always busy thinking about the next thing we need to do.
Being present is the greatest gift. No phones, no distractions. Time shared slowing down, savouring the moment, and feeling connected. A cup of coffee always helps, of course! And this time, have it for here - not to go.
Spend time with the ones you love - whether romantic, platonic, familial, or yourself.
