Ahhhhhhh. Happiest of Valentine’s Day dear tribe!

On this day, I want you to know that I love you.

Truly.

In the words of great 80’s icon Howard Jones, ‘What is love anyway? Does anybody love anybody anyway?”

I say yes, HoJo. Yes.

Inspired by this song, I looked up love in the dictionary.

LOVE:

  • A strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties
  • Attraction based on sexual desire (easy there Webster)
  • Affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests
  • Warm attachment, enthusiasm or devotion
  • To Cherish
  • To Thrive

My favorite is to thrive……love….love makes us thrive.

I LOVE spending time with you. I LOVE my community….,,you…..you help me to thrive, to grow, to reach beyond who I am.

Love is a connection.

And what are we without that?

Valentine’s Day promises us chocolates, flowers and fancy bling.

I hope you find more……a hand to hold, a friend to call, a sacred moment to yourself…..a hand written note…..connection.

Happy Valentines Day dear tribe. Much love.
