Get what you want for Valentine’s Day …

Valentine’s Day is for the infatuated, the brokenhearted, the deeply in love, the old and worn, the young and anxious…and, of course, the coupled and the single. It’s for you!

You don’t have to worry about how you fit in, or how it plays out for you. It’s designed for you and you’re in charge of how happy it is or isn’t. Come on, you knew I wouldn’t leave your happiness up to somebody else.

So, what do you want? Where do you want to celebrate? How do you want to celebrate?

Valentine’s Day is for lovers. And you are a lover — a beautiful, incredible lover, if I may say so. You can have whatever you want for Valentine’s Day! In fact, you will have whatever you want. You will choose consciously, or unconsciously, with your beliefs and the actions you take based on those beliefs.

Just for a minute, pretend you have the most magnificent partner, better than you ever hoped or imagined you could get. And you’re looking for a gift that will reflect your sweetheart and your love and gratitude for him (or her).

Stay with me, I realize that pretend isn’t quite the same as real, but you actually have YOU!… More

Happy Valentine’s Day …

Dear Friends,

With the onslaught of hearts and Cupid’s arrows, we can find ourselves trying to conjure up romance, or feeling deprived of it. Romance can be like kissing, though; it’s a bit shallow without love. Love, on the other hand, has more depth than we sometimes dare to explore. Ah, but what could be more romantic than exploring the depths of love?

This Valentine’s Day, I might have some “romantic” staples—dark chocolate and strawberries, candlelight and flowers—but I will focus on expressing and, yes, exploring love. Erotic words and images don’t blend as well with familiar oneness as they do with uncommitted passion. What fuels sizzle doesn’t necessarily fuel intimacy.

And I have to tell you—I’ve spent Valentine’s Day happily alone. If you’re doing that, please find peace in your aloneness. It’s a wonderful opportunity to explore the depths of you and love.

For me, that looks like sitting quietly in the middle of a field or at the edge of the water, where the only place to go is within, beyond the noise and clutter of the ego, to feel the divinity. My words fall way short of feeling it, though. So do Cupid’s arrows. Nobody else can explore what’s in there for you.… More

Get infatuated with you …

You know how easy it is to look forward to spending time with somebody when you’re infatuated? Get infatuated with you! Then spend enough quality time with you to truly know and love who you are. And act on that love, demonstrate it day in and day out, by assuming responsibility for your own needs, your own joy, your own health and well-being.
