My sweet Grandma Pauline passed away in 2018 and she would always refer to me as “My love, Hello Love and just causally call me Love.” She was so vibrant and full of passion for life and love too! And my own sweet Red head baby looks like her!
After she passed I began consciously bringing “Love” into my language and vocabulary, to honor and remember her. Referring to my kids as love, saying often hello love, and I even catch myself saying it to random strangers now.
So Hello Ali love came as a way of honoring her but also as a way to show this new, sometimes vulnerable, scary, journey I’m beginning on, of reaching some of my dreams, a nice warm embrace of remembering to show myself love too, as I navigate and grow. So began Hello Ali Love!
