But that's not all
The community account in its own right is heading to 1,500 HP which is a major milestone and makes our votes worth more as we support you, our members.
We would not have been able to do it without you!
Back to business: this months' theme
Theme for the February Blog of the Month #bom, is... love
February is the month of love and although I can be quite a grinch about Valentine's Day and the commercial paraphernalia that surrounds it, the truth is that love is the driving force behind everything good (and sometimes not so good) in the world. But I have always thought that we don't need a special day to celebrate something that we should celebrate every day.
Over the years I have learned that we must take every opportunity to express our love and I don't mean passionate love. I mean the love we feel for the people who are important to us. Any day is always the best time to say I love you or have a loving gesture with those we care about.
So this month the theme is as wide as LOVE. Tell us an anecdote, how your perception of love has changed over the years, a fictional story, your favorite love songs, movies, or books, and why you love them so much. Whatever you can think of about love. Imagination has no limits, so show some LOVE.
Love after all is what makes the world go round, not so?
