I don’t often go off on a tangent on this blog.  Mostly I try to stay true to the subject of green fashion and beauty and the amazing people working to establish them in mainstream commerce.  But today I want to take a few minutes to talk to you about LOVE…and about the sweet little company called Lovemore that has made it their mission to promote LOVE in everything we do.

Love isn’t just about red hearts and chocolates.  Nor is it simply about Hallmark cards, romantic holidays, babies, puppies and kittens.  Love is widely recognized by every faith tradition and culture as the most powerful creative force on the planet.  It is what inspires us to sacrifice our own selfish instincts for the good of our families, our communities and our country.  Love inspires great art, music and literature.  It is what allows us to fully enjoy even the simplest moments in our day…a cup of tea, a few deep breaths, or holding hands with our child as we walk across the street.

The greatest men and women throughout history have been sent to us to remind us of how important love is, and why we need it.  So many of the problems in the world today could be solved if we started from a perspective of love and let that guide our negotiations, decisions, and interactions.

Two sisters–Andrea and Angela Crossman–have founded a small company called Lovemore to promote a better world and a better quality of life:

The company offers several reusable, eco-friendly items including apparel, shopping bags and other useful but attractive items bearing their logo.  Proceeds from the sales of these items go toward two excellent non-profit organizations:  Earth Birth and Farm Sanctuary.   The Crossman sisters also keep a blog to inspire love and keep their friends updated on the company’s latest efforts.

Ok, the pragmatist in me says that maybe love isn’t really ALL you need in life…but the fact is, it is the absolute cherry on top of an already amazing existence.  Let’s cherish it, experience it fully and pass it on.
