Usually when we say 'sending love your way' it's because someone is sick, unhappy, or god-forbid knows someone who passed away.
But why don't we send love, just to send love?
I know I never have so much love in my life that I'm like "NO MORE! I CAN'T TAKE IT! Ugh, so much kindness and goodness- it's so unfair!"
Right?!

I used to be UBER afraid of IRRITATING people.
I pictured everyone thinking: "Ugh. This girl just wants to SELL me"
OR "there goes Aliya again, waving her 'buy me, buy me!' flag!"
Seems like a simple enough idea, right?
Mmm, not so much, actually. Why?
>>Because SO many of us DON’T REALLY BELIEVE IT.<<
We don’t believe people actually like spending money.
In fact, most of us believe people HATE spending money.
So “what’s the harm in that?!” you ask?
