Celebrate Love!

Valentine’s Day is this coming Tuesday, February 14th. It’s a day to celebrate LOVE! Love yourself, love others, love pets, and love Mother Earth!

Get creative this year and take action on your love. Pamper yourself with a soothing bath. I love Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak, which also comes in lavender, or the facial/body scrub in Citrus. Massage your hands with Trader Joe’s very affordable Coconut Body Butter and work it into your neglected cuticles. Take a walk on a new pathway. Try a new tea or treat yourself to a healthy smoothie.

Have fun with old-school construction paper, doilies, glitter glue sticks, and markers and create thank-you Valentines to drop off at your dentist, to give to your pet sitter, or the kid who mows your lawn. It feels so good to give love and receive the warm smiles in return.

Donations to feed hungry children is an act of love, as is dropping off food to a local food bank. Look online to see what they need the most and learn about the guidelines, such as no glass containers, etc.

Bake special treats for your beloved pets. After all, they give unconditional love all day, every day. Some animal shelters accept donations of old blankets to keep the fur babies comfortable. Another way to show you care is to make a donation to one of the reputable organizations that support the welfare of animals.

Mother Earth can also be the recipient of love. Cleaning up litter in a park while you take a stroll, recycling, and getting involved in projects that save our sea creatures or help out with community gardens are all actions in which you give and receive love and satisfaction.

The world and all of the people and creatures in it are in need of love. Please accept the invitation to be a bringer of that love. Start the wave.

BIG love sent to you this Valentine's Day!

Stay enchanted.
