Love Out Loud!


Love is an action word. What does it mean to love out loud?  The meaning might be a little different for everyone, but for me, to love out loud means to love boldly, freely and to give yourself away, to make deposits to others. 

Withdraw your love like savings and spend it like your love has a bottomless supply. When you spend love on others, your account will never be overdrawn because the more of it you give the more of it will manifest.

When you love out loud, you inspire others to do the same. Love is about giving without expecting anything in return. The cute little sign I am holding is a letter press  created by my blog buddy Christa Myers over at the blog Beatrice Clay For a Beautiful Life.  Stop by this amazing blog for great life inspiration. I promise you will be glad you did:-)

 Love is hearing every word when I didn't say a thing




I love the way these colors play off each other and I am wearing my cute little scarf from Dollar Tree. I have a similar one in Turquoise. When I see something I like, I get all the colors:-) Are you that way too?
Yellow is one of my favorite colors to wear in the summer and spring. Actually, I love it all year long. This yellow dress has been my summer go to dress. Check out how I wore it for my birthday last year by clicking here

I pass by this wall on a pretty regular basis and one day I stopped and looked at it. Love love love love love love love love love love love love love.  Just looking at it makes me think about the power of love. 



This wall is actually the property of Smashbox Cosmetics and who ever came up with this love concept is brilliant.  What a great way to touch people and stand out in the minds of everyone that looks at this wall.

Have a great day and always remember to LOVE OUT LOUD!

    LV, your upbeat and big-hearted approach to life is such an inspiration. I can't stop thinking about the idea that love is an active verb....such a simple concept, but true. The wall is just...smile-inducing. I got a similar pair of shoes in peep-toe style, can't wait to see more of how you style your pair!!

    I love your post and commend you for inspiring others. I'm the poster child {so to speak} for loving & supporting others out loud on personal and business levels. It takes compassion along with boldness and there's a compassion deficit. We shall soldier on with being the example. It's worth the out loud effort. -Goya Spry, Creator & Host of Plugging In With GPS™️: A Spotify Podcast
