Valentine’s Day is a mixed day for me… Almost always has been. I find the glam rather disheartening. The long waits for a dinner out. The overly priced roses stuffed in black plastic bins. Chocolate in heart-shapes. (All chocolate is the shape of a heart.) So I rewrote an old poem and made it a love letter for you as well as me: Dear Sweet Beautiful Spirit, Happy Valentine’s Day! I embrace you. You capture the magic of self-love in your velvety tenderness. I will hold you dearly and respect who you are. You are love and in this love your heart blooms! I know it’s been a voyage of challenges. I’ve listened to your saline mist. Let’s wear a new ribbon of blushing pink and ravishing red. Let’s emblaze self-love as a personal gift. Gift of Love You are loved. Look inward and believe it. Dance to the rhythm of your heart. Feel your breath rise and fall. It wraps a sensuous melody. You are more than okay. Sing joyfully...
