Hmmm ... What Does it Mean to BELIEVE in Love?

Over the next few weeks, we want to share a few of our BIGGEST and DEEPEST-held beliefs here, at Seeds … and we hope it sparks and connects with something DEEP in you, as we do. May we continue to find our stories in the stories of one another.

This is the first…

We BELIEVE in LOVE. ❤️

This kind of love sustains fierce dreams.
It also ignites action.
It’s strong and brave like you (yes, YOU!).
It inspires us to take small steps
and contemplate massive leaps that matter

What phrases or words capture your attention? Hold ’em close. Ponder. Explore. What treasures are here, right here, waiting for you to discover?

Breathe.
See what confines, what saps, what discourages and
let
it
go.

Ponder. Go Deeper.
What do you feel curious about or compelled to fight for or against? What would you train for, even to the point of exhaustion, and perhaps beyond what you feel capable of doing? Imagine what or for whom you would be willing to fight. Is it in the context of your everyday, with those you currently serve and love? Or is it about reaching out to a new someone that is capturing your attention and heart?

Do you not know your something to live or fight for yet? Are you still on the hunt? Don’t compare, measure, or allow the messages that you are not enough, moving too slow, or going too fast to diminish you. Keep walking, exploring, and trusting—even before you understand it… (Read more in this excerpt from Soulfully Ablaze.)

When the dignity, security, and well-being
of those who BElong to us
—one or many—
are being challenged,
let’s
do something.
Let’s standTALL.
Let’s be upstanders. Let’s shout.
My friend, to BE a part of this formidable, unstoppable army,
you need only claim it.
You
are
a warrior of love.
