Love This: Love Ever After Project by Lauren Fleishman
{via}
Oh, happy heart. We love this. So much. Photographer Lauren Fleishman is seeking support for her Love Ever After Project. An amazing photographic retrospective that captures the images and stories of couples that have been married for fifty years or more. These are the love stories that will never have a Facebook timeline or blog to capture the span of many decades of life and love. Lauren is capturing the stories for these couples, their families, and for all of us.
{the project}
Love Ever After will share the love stories of couples who have been married for at least 50 years. Inspired by a letter my grandfather wrote to my grandmother during World War II (and rediscovered after he passed away in 2007), I began photographing and interviewing couples in the New York area as a way to preserve their stories and to illuminate our universal experience of love.
Check out her personal site for more information and read the story about the cute couple pictured above., plus plenty of other old-fashioned and happy love stories to fill your own heart and inspire you. And you can continue the inspiration and love story by helping to fund her kickstarter campaign.
Challenge + Nourish: Heart + Mind + Soul

As the first day of February and in honor of creating love-ly connections, we wanted to share some of our favorite ideas for celebrating this month. These are meant to challenge you - heart and mind and soul - and get you outside your comfort zone and into some old familiar territory, as well as some new places too.

First up, is the Month of Letters Challenge. The idea is that in February, you write a letter for every day the postal service runs. That means on Sundays, you can give your letter writing a breather. Why? We say why not. Who doesn't love to get real mail in their mailbox. And the connections made by hand and post are so much more authentic. We are taking the challenge on and we encourage you to do so as well! There is an entire website dedicated to this project complete with FAQ's and notes on how to connect online via Facebook and Twitter to help take the project from virtual to reality.
Next is the Letters of Note site, where you can be inspired by fascinating and interesting correspondence gathered and curated to share with all. This love letter is worthy of a read.

Finally, for those of you more prone to pick up a camera instead of a pen, here is a photo challenge for the month of February from Fat Mum Slim. We are looking forward to this challenge as well and we'll be sure to tweet our pics with #febphotoaday.
Be sure to share your letters (if you dare!) and your photos with us here, on our Facebook page, or via Twitter with #noteablyunique.
