ove is a gift we give and one which we hope to receive. Tess believes it is one of the strongest human emotions that can bring joy, happiness and contentment - but can also lead to pain, loss and emptiness. When we love, we make ourselves vulnerable by exposing the deepest essence of our being; a sacred place within that penetrates our heart and soul. We may show our love through sacrificial prayer, devotion to family and friends or community support. When we express our love, we can transform our lives and those of others.
