Love is more than having a partner. Queen Elsa of Arendelle provided the perfect illustration of this when she expressed a true act of love while saving her younger sister, Princess Anna, from Prince Hans the imbecile. If you are still waiting for that special someone, know that you’re capable of love every single day. How you ask? By acts of service. Acts of service is discussed in “The 5 Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate” by Gary Chapman. Typically, the love languages are used for your partner, but we can use most of them on anyone. Acts of service consist of giving up your time to help someone else with something they’d appreciate. For example, checking in on your neighbor in the midst of a pandemic or giving a stranger a genuine compliment while helping boost their confidence. Not only will you receive a release of dopamine when you are loving towards someone, you will also create your law of attraction. https://www.bodyandsoulydc.org/blog/parkland-we-hear-you monthly 0.5 2021-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0278050fd9ff31bbf4014c/1613403478192-K85Y0FQHG2UUN7K9X16H/Screen+Shot+2021-02-15+at+10.37.11+AM.png Blog - Parkland: We Hear You Photo Curtesy of @msdparkland17.

Participants come from a variety of backgrounds and often go without the necessities of daily life. Our programs empower our youth to achieve success in school, avoid risky behaviors such as trying drugs and alcohol, and develop positive habits that they will carry with them through life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0278050fd9ff31bbf4014c/1603156379251-H36QTARBRANNHLSB3V26/our-vision.jpg About - Our Vision We believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to empowering our youth and that every young person has their own unique potential. Our ultimate goal is to transform the way the world perceives, supports, and cares for young people as they discover and embrace their interests and strengths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0278050fd9ff31bbf4014c/1603939945091-YNOAQKNFLY1RY6LCMQUI/community-partners.jpg About - Our Approach We help young people discover the strength and potential that lies within themselves through a personalized approach.

We want them to know that someone cares and that their feelings are justified. Helen is here to listen, to tell them it’s okay, and to tell them that it is going to be okay. She shares her stories in hopes that she is able to touch our youth and relate to the stories they have. Helen Hears You is brought to you by Body and Soul Youth Development Center. At Body and Soul YDC we believe in the Power of Purpose. Every young mind and soul deserves access to inspiration, education and experiences that enrich their future, no matter where they live. That’s what we provide. https://www.bodyandsoulydc.org/mothers-day-event daily 0.75 2021-03-10 https://www.bodyandsoulydc.org/intake-form daily 0.75 2021-03-11 https://www.bodyandsoulydc.org/newsletter-signup daily 0.75 2021-08-10 https://www.bodyandsoulydc.org/holiday-2021 daily 0.75 2021-11-29
