9 Of The Coolest Acts Of Love From The Loving Year

Sending encouraging postcards to strangers, posting instructions on how to start a dance party for one and putting self-celebration packages on strangers' doorsteps are just some of the acts of love Michael Jukeson has performed as his role as the "Chief Loving Officer" of the project The Loving Year, a 365-day RV trip through North America with his dog, Bro. Meanwhile, I'm complaining about going to work and wondering how many pieces of bread I can eat before I get fat. We all need some love, how will you pass it on?
