Valentine’s

All week-long I’ve been sharing Valentine’s ideas to spend with your love, or your friends. But at the end of the day it’s a day to celebrate love for all, especially yourself. When you love yourself, you can easily share it and put it back out into the world. On the invite for my valentine’s afternoon with the girls, I printed a quote for each of them to have, to remember to always choose in favor of love…

“Practice love until you remember you are love”  Swami Sai Premananda

Yes, Valentine’s day is fun to get into with sweets and pretty decor, but it’s about more than that.

Although it may have seemed child-like, I couldn’t throw away the balloons from my galantine’s, instead I chose to fill my room with them, so that every morning I’d wake up to pink bouncing balloons everywhere. The first morning I started playing with them like a kid, and couldn’t help myself from smiling and feeling happy. I definitely felt love, it was such a great start to each morning.

So this Valentine’s day, get dressed up and look pretty just for yourself, pick up your favorite flowers, and make a special cocktail – do all the things that make you happy and smile.
