Do you have a sweetie?
Valentine Day is February 14. This year, it falls on a Friday. It looks like there’s going to be a little more pressure on everyone due to that. Restaurants will be a bit more crowded and weekend vacation spots booked.
Today, the occasion has evolved to include flowers, dinner, confections along with the traditional greeting cards.
Valentine Day can create a bit of sadness for those who have lost a loved one or who haven’t found one to make their own but no one said a sweetie had to have two legs.
It’s time to think outside the box. Let’s see some creative posts on how you will be celebrating this special day.
Decisions … Decisions – what to do?
St. Valentine’s Day started as a liturgical celebration of Christian saints named Valentinus. Today, the day is associated with romantic love. During the Middle Ages, when courtly love flourished, lovers penned notes expressing their love for each other.
A popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire.
According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell.[3]
Today, Saint Valentine’s Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion,[4] as well as in the Lutheran Church.[5] The Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrates Saint Valentine’s Day, albeit on July 6th and July 30th, the former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the latter date in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni). In Brazil, the Dia de São Valentim is recognized on June 12. Information from Wikipedia
To get our Valentine Week countdown started, I’ll add a few ideas and poems for you until Valentine’s Day.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful if we did nice things for each other all year?
Happy Valentine’s Day !!!

Sacred Love
Divine Love is the
primal energy at the
core of all manifestation
You are the same substance
Soul substance of
All that is
~ You are Love ~
You are a radiating
center of Love and Light
There’s a longing for a union of
Spirit, Soul and Body which
would allow the passion, pleasure
and playfulness of the cosmos
To Dance through our
Being, to assist us in re~
awakening to our innate
Divinity
To dissolve feelings of
separation, isolation and
assist in manifesting our
Soul purpose.
Sacred Love
A union of Love where
Your heart opens before you
So wide it seems to hurt.
Where Love just
pours out from you to
your partner in waves.
Where you are filled with the
longing for your partner to
somehow know how much you
Love him or her.
Where the definition of your
body disappears as you melt
*Together, becoming One.
Where the climax of your
LoveMaking shoots you out of
Your body and expands your
Being across the great heavens
and the Dove of
Peace settles gently
in your chest.
Where the experience of
Such Love is a balm to your
Spirit and brings order to
your life.
Where you feel that all your
days upon the earth and
every challenge you have had
to conquer
Is completely and absolutely
worth it for One
Moment Of Love
such as this.
~Trust Love~
In Trusting Love, you
are trusting your own
*Highest nature.
Love is not about
expectation
Love is without
condition
Only in “letting go” can
We be prepared to receive
what is Truly ours
