HeartShare: Love is a Verb, Not a Possession","description":"In this solocast&amp;nbsp; I talk about how love is a verb, it is in our actions. Possessiveness is usually guised in what people believe love is or in their ways they love. So we need to choose loving action over control. The idea that love is a verb emphasizes that love isn\u2019t primarily a passive feeling, emotion, or static \u201cthing\u201d you fall into or possess. Instead it\u2019s an active practice; a series of deliberate actions, choices, and behaviors you engage in daily. Possessiveness often shows up in jealousy, monitoring, restricting freedoms, emotional manipulation to name a few and it can erode trust and safety. I discuss practical ways to practice verb-love over possession.
