I like the idea of reclaiming the word saint from its popular meaning, which I think is more or less someone who puts up with a lot of misery and possibly bad treatment without complaining or doing anything about it (e.g., "She's a saint for staying married to X for so long"). Its original meaning of holy is a beautiful aspiration, a daily practice of unconditional love in action.

"Unconditional love in action." I love this.

I tend to say “ I want to embody unconditional love no matter what” but Saint seems to sum that up nicely 😆

Yeah, “saint” may not be the best choice given all the baggage around that word. Unconditional love is absolutely the point though. So glad to hear from you Monique 💕
