Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

Hey y’all,

As Valentine’s Day rolls around, I’ve been thinking about the different flavors of love that spice up our lives. Love is this amazing thing that shows up in all kinds of relationships, and it’s got me reflecting on it.

When it comes to couples, it’s like this intricate dance of connection, understanding, and making memories together. I’ve seen that everyone’s got their own way of expressing love – be it through sweet words, lending a helping hand, or something else. It’s like we’re all speaking our own love languages.

Then there’s that deep-down, soulful love we share with the Big Guy upstairs. It’s like this anchor that keeps us steady, a guiding light that reminds us we’re loved just as we are. This love is like a secret source of strength that goes beyond anything we experience on this Earth.

Family and friends bring their own kind of love to the mix – it’s like this steady thread in the crazy quilt of our lives. It’s the laughter, the shared memories, and the comfort of knowing we’ve got each other’s backs.

And don’t even get me started on the love you have with kids. It’s this beautiful blend of tenderness and growth, found in the everyday moments and bedtime stories. Parental love is patient, enduring, and this ongoing journey of discovery.

In my own journey, I’ve learned that love can change. It starts with that feeling of being “in love,” this magical spark that brings people together. But then it becomes the act of love itself – the intentional choices and gestures that keep the flame alive. Finally, it transforms into the obligation and commitment of love, where you show up for each other, not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s tough. Love takes forgiveness and patience, but it’s worth it – finding beauty in the imperfections of the folks around us.

So, this Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate all kinds of love. Whether it’s romantic, spiritual, family vibes, or just good friends, love is that special sauce that adds joy, comfort, and strength to our lives.

Here’s to a Valentine’s Day filled with love, embracing all the different flavors in your world!

In love, Joy Junkie
