Happy Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is often considered a holiday for couples.
Okay. That is fine, but it should also be a holiday to spread love around more generally.
Share your heart with your brothers-sisters-cousins-children-stepchildren-nieces-nephews-Mama-Papa- old friends – new friends and neighbors. Share it with the friendly person at the grocery store, with the bus driver who waited an extra second, with the vendor in the rain at the farmer’s market.
Share your heart with whoever or whatever makes you happy.
Let your heart take a walk.
Share your heart even when it is a misguided or bad idea.
The heart is a muscle and gets stronger with use.
Share your heart with strangers who need it. All Hands and Hearts is a volunteer powered organization where you can donate to a Turkish earthquake relief fund HERE.
Share your heart with flowers and at all hours.
Share your heart with yourself.
Have Heart!
yours truly,
Julie Paschkis
