When is the last time you looked your favorite people in the eyes and told them how much you love them and how grateful you are for them? That takes confidence and courage, but sincere and specific verbalized love and gratitude are incredible gifts. Those are the words that can soothe and heal wounded souls.

I believe love and gratitude that go unexpressed are missed opportunities. Be the rare one, the brave one who tells people how grateful you are for them and how much you love them before it's too late.
