As we wrap up this month, we’re reflecting on what it means to Love Out Loud. Love Out Loud is about making care visible in ways that strengthen connection and build trust. #MakeKindnessTheNorm

Kindness can look like slowing down. Small moments of patience lower stress, for everyone involved.

Expressing love reduces stress and elevates our moods. —Brooke

Love isn't just an emotion, it is a gift we give others. —Brooke

In a world full of opportunities to connect and uplift one another, kindness has the power to shine brightly. What if we made kindness the norm—the foundation of how we live and interact every day? www.randomactsofkindness.org/the-kindness... #RAKWeek #MakeKindnessTheNorm

Scroll until you find someone’s creative effort: a drawing, a recipe, a photo. Say what you truly appreciate. Being seen builds belonging.

Valentine’s Day can be a reminder to say what we mean a little more clearly. Love Out Loud isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about expressing appreciation, respect, and care in ways that are honest and intentional. A direct thank you. A thoughtful acknowledgment. A moment of real attention.

Science backs it up: expressing gratitude and love releases oxytocin, the bonding hormone. It strengthens relationships, lowers blood pressure, and helps calm our nervous systems. Kindness doesn’t just feel good; it helps us heal.

Our biggest week of the year is here. From February 15–21, we’re practicing kindness that’s quiet, powerful, and unmistakably human. 💛
