Finding the Love of Your Life

This month I’m writing for singles and couples.  Since Valentine’s Day is only six days away, I wanted to give you all some tips and ideas for consideration in making your celebration plans. If you are single and without a date this Valentine’s Day, don’t make it the end of the world (we’ll save that for December 21^st – just kidding!).  I encourage unattached single women to give themselves a gift on this romantic holiday.  I have some ideas for you, but consider them only if you can opt in with the high level energy of gratitude for everything you are and have.  Coming from a place of lack as if a gift to yourself on this day is a consolation prize won’t be worth the effort.  If you can shift into celebrating yourself mode (which I highly recommend) you can move yourself forward on the path to connecting to your partner by lavishing yourself with love.

Just because you don’t have a date doesn’t mean you have to be alone.  Share the evening with friends and no I don’t mean a sad, pity party.  I want you to celebrate each other’s wonderful qualities and passion for life as you tell a new story. What new story?  This is a perfect time to articulate your romantic affirmations with joyful energy and positivity. You can say, “I am welcoming true love into my life as we speak, the love of my life is on his way to me and I am open to giving and receiving love in an authentic relationship founded on character.” I encourage you to create your new story and practice telling it until you can do so with feeling and conviction.

Married men or those men in committed relationships, I have suggestions for you as well.  It’s okay to ask how she’d like to celebrate the day.  If she’d rather be surprised you can still find out more about the type of celebrating she’s been thinking about.  Ask her for a list of possibilities and choose from it.  If you are really on your own with what to do, don’t over think it. Most women are truly pleased with a heartfelt card and some flowers or chocolates.  Others of us love jewelry of course and/or just spending the evening out with you over dinner.  Dinner does not have to be 5 star - reservations which you probably should have made a month ago, or mega-expensive if you are more in savings mode right now.  My husband and I talked about it and decided to go to a local wine bar we both love for its romantic atmosphere and they have a fabulous cheese plate and of course terrific wine selections. Sometimes we go away for the weekend to celebrate, but we’re not locked in to any particular plan. My motto is not to make this too difficult or fussy.  For us Valentine’s Day is a special “I love you” day to be together and remember how much we cherish being connected as a couple. 

We’d all love to know what you did to celebrate so we can expand our own creativity, so remember to leave a comment. Until next time remember:  Stay in the positive energy zone – give yourself lots of love so you can share from a place of abundance.
