Since February is traditionally the month of Love, I invite you to celebrate the aspect of Beauty that is Friendship.   Further down, you will find a special gift I created for you to share with your friends.  So go ahead and love on your friends!  Delight in sharing your friendship stories together!  When did you first meet?  What have been some good times?  Hard times?  What do you value most in your friendship?
