Love is the heart of the matter. If you live love, your actions will reflect it. If you reflect love, others will feel it. Acting out of love always creates the proper actions. Make every day in February a loving one. Each day will help your child enjoy the rewards of inner peace.

Kindness in words creates confidence;

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness;

Kindness in giving creates love.

— Lao Tzu
