In this issue, you’ll meet Lilena and Lucy–sisters who “speak from the heart”–they’re voiceover artists (and on-screen actors who also love to serve in their church and its ministries and help out in their local animal shelter.

Since January is National Heart Month, we’re including lots of information and inspiration about keeping care of our hearts–physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We’re also debuting a new column—“Courageous Girls” with professional counselor, coach, author and speaker, Terra Mattson. As the founder of Courageous Girls, Terra has dedicated her heart to serving and encouraging our girls to live lives rooted in grace—and we welcome the wisdom and passion she brings to our pages!

In fact, she also contributed a “What are Love Languages” primer to help your girls discover how they can best give love and receive love. You might also learn more about you and your love languages—take the quiz inside and see!

As always, our readers speak from their hearts to tell us about the people, places and things that make them feel loved—and how they show their love to others!
