You know that first breath of spring? The way the warmer air gives you goosebumps — the air is soft, full of promise, carrying hints of something new. After months of cold, we step outside, and for the first time, the sun lingers a little longer, warming our hands, our faces, our hearts. Maybe it’s still daylight when we get home from work. Love is a lot like that. It’s the warmth that lingers after the winter. The breath that fills our lungs when we didn’t even realize we were holding them.
Love exists in big acts with large sums of money, sure. But more often, it’s in the small acts — the moments we miss that swirl through the air like dandelion seeds, taking root in ways we may never fully see. It’s checking in on a friend, even when they insist they’re fine. It’s the extra few seconds we hold the door open, the way we buy the person behind us a coffee in the morning. It’s letting go of old grudges, choosing forgiveness even when it would be easier to stay cold.
The beautiful thing about love is that it multiplies. The more we put out into the air, the more it spreads, catching in the wind, drifting far beyond where we first let it go. Love is not just an action or money, either — it’s a kind of magic that moves everything it touches in the right direction.
This issue of Good News is dedicated to that love. Not just romantic love but the kind that makes communities stronger, hearts lighter, and life a little more beautiful. Love rooted in appreciation, in gratefulness, in the quiet choices we make every day to make the world a little warmer.
So breathe it in. And then send it back out into the air. GN
