Spread Love

In recent months, I’ve stopped watching television, reading news reports, and turned to great literature for an escape from the craziness. I’m tired of the negativity. I want to live in one of the romance worlds where everyone has a happily ever after. I understand it’s fiction, not reality, but I still want it. I’ve decided there is nothing wrong with wanting to spread a little cheer and happiness, so I made an effort in my own life to inspire and lift up others.

Those who know me are aware of my obsession with Pay it Forward, so I won’t discuss that here. Instead, I started researching some amazing love quotes. Here are a few of those I’ve discovered that inspire me daily.

 “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep the more I give to thee. The more I have, for both are infinite.” ~ William Shakespeare – Romeo and Juliet

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever.” ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

“There is no remedy to love, but to love more.” ~ Thoreau

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tries, and a touch that never hurts.” ~ Charles Dickens

“Love is the voice under all silences, hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than stars.” ~ E.E. Cummings

“We were together. I forgot the rest.” ~ Walt Whitman

I hope some of these quotes inspired you, made you smile, or warmed your heart today.

Happy reading!

D.C. Agent Brady Lasiter lives to take down the bad guys. Until journalist Charlotte Rutledge struts into his life with a story that can dismantle his entire Narcotics and Special Investigation Division. 

Charlotte Rutledge lives in small town America, but she hits hard at big town problems as the anonymous creator and editor of a true crime magazine. Fueled by the unsolved murder of her sister, she'll do anything to uncover the truth. Even if it means forcing Lasiter out of his carefully constructed shell. 

After Charlotte's true identity is revealed, she and Brady's lives collide in a battle to save her town from becoming collateral damage. But when Charlotte receives death threats, Brady must choose between his job, his men, or the dream woman who shattered the shield protecting his heart.
