Well loved means many different things to many people. This inspirational essay is a beautiful way to think of love. Please enjoy “It Was Supposed To Be About Being Well Loved.” by #cynthiaannlublink found in the MockingOwl Roost blog.

Love is a risk every single time. A worthy one. One I have by His grace been able to go all-in on. When we love, we jump. We risk it all for the hope, the promise, the forever. It feels like a miracle to be able to do this when you have been hurt mentally, emotionally, and physically. To me, it reveals God’s grace, his mercy, his healing, and the tenacity He created me with. I have been told many times that I have a gift of love. There’s a reserve within me with which only He could have gifted me.
Words are powerful. So powerful that they can change the course of a life. Please enjoy the fiction “One Last Spell.” By #cynthiaannlublink. The story is found on page 08 in the MockingOwl Roost’s Mini Issue entitled “Seafaring-Pirates.”
