I’ve been trying to stay consistent by posting every 3-4 days, sharing my thoughts and hoping to get some of yours. So today…post date!
I hope everyone has had a wonderful LOVE DAY! I’ve been asking friends for a few days on a good “Love” topic. The best comment/ suggestion I got was “speak from the heart/ hablar desde el corazon.” (Two friends, two languages. Lol.)
I started drafting a post Tuesday night on what I believed “True Love” to be within a relationship between a man and woman. I woke up this morning and started editing to post it as soon as I could. But throughout the morning, I noticed a lot of posts on Facebook and Instagram that were the total opposite of what I think this day means. So I had to change it up. What better thing to speak of today than the day itself and what it has always meant to me?
Even as an adolescent I believed Valentine’s Day to be a day to just EXPRESS LOVE. Now, I do understand some hate it because it’s totally commercialized. But Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s are commercialized holidays and they get way more Love than the national holiday of Love. Why is that? I wondered, did everyone have the same belief as a kid? If so, where did this belief go? Is Love so absent in our everyday life that we have to feel insecure if we aren’t in a relationship? Are we so jaded that even if we are in a relationship we have to talk down to those who aren’t? When has showing Love EVER been a bad thing? Getting texts, cards and candy from spouses, friends and parents are sweet little gestures that inspire nothing but good. I wonder if it is that purity that has been forgotten, which makes this day that is supposed to be all about Love, more about bitterness and negativity?
Thoughts?
I also wanted to be sure that today of all days I show appreciation to those who have read, commented and/ or liked my page on both the blog and my IG. Thanks for showing Love.
Remember, Love inspires all things. So inspire Love! ♥

I’ve always believed in love…and always will…:)
I love this! M and I don’t fuss over Valentines day with each other. (we do cards and he may get me a lil candy) but i make it a point to celebrate it with Danny and now with my sweet Sofia. Our tradition is a lil bit of chocolate, a special breakfast and books about love (my kids can never have enough books!) I love that we have a day to express our love in an extra special way. I just don’t get all the negativity around it, if you don’t believe in this “hallmark” holiday keep it moving and quit bitching!
