Hello, lovely MoonFam!

As we continue to bask in the afterglow of February, let’s keep the conversation flowing about the depths of our affections and the tender bonds we share with our partners. This month, along with embracing the universal themes of love, I want to shine a special light on the beauty and significance of Black love. Celebrating Black love is not just about acknowledging a love story; it’s about recognizing resilience, culture, and the powerful ties that bind hearts together against all odds. It’s a tribute to the strength, diversity, and richness that Black love brings to the human experience. Now, let’s talk about the idea of truly seeing our partners—not just who they were when we first met them but who they are right now, in this very moment.

Your relationship can be viewed as a garden. Over time, gardens grow and change; new flowers bloom, and the landscape may shift. Similarly, our partners grow and change, revealing new layers of themselves. To nurture our garden of love, we must really see our partner in their current state, appreciating the beautiful nuances that make them who they are today.

Appreciation is like sunlight; it helps our love to grow. Try this: each day, find one thing about your partner that you appreciate. It could be something small, like the way their eyes crinkle when they laugh, or something larger, like their kindness towards others. Acknowledge it. Celebrate it. Let them know how much you love that one thing about them that you chose. This act of noticing and appreciating the little things keeps the garden of your relationship vibrant and blooming. Finding joy in those everyday moments can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. By focusing on these simple joys, you bring a deeper level of enjoyment and appreciation to your relationship.

Change is the only constant, they say, and it’s true in relationships too. Embracing change together means holding hands and stepping into the unknown, ready to discover new aspects of each other and yourselves. It’s about supporting each other through growth, challenges, and all the phases of the moon—knowing that at each turn, you choose to see and love each other anew.

Lastly, there’s magic in the now. In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to get caught up in what’s next—the next date, the next anniversary, the next big milestone. But the real magic? It’s right here, in this moment, with your partner. So, take a deep breath, look into their eyes, and let yourself really see them. You might just find that the love you have is deeper and more beautiful than you ever realized.

So the point of my rambling is, remember to see our partners with fresh eyes, appreciate their unique beauty, and find joy in the journey we share. Here’s to love, in all its ever-changing glory, and a special toast to the enduring, inspiring essence of Black love.

With all the warmth of moonbeams,

Jojo
