Greetings friends,
With February 14th being a combination of Valentine's Day we wanted share our views about VD in a broader perspective. This day was founded on a celebration of romantic love and now it is has been commercialized so that card, chocolate and florists can cash in on the media and marketing hype surrounding it.
We will have been together 21 years on July 15th..the day we met. We vowed to keep the magic and romance alive no matter how long we are together and it works for us. On the 15th of every month we commemorate our monthly anniversary and on Monday it will be our 245th month together. We are going to combine VD and our Anniversary by going out for dinner and reminiscing about our shared history together. We also do our best to stay mindful that our sacred partnership is one of our greatest blessings and we strive to never take it or each other for granted. As life and business partners we are together most of the time because we run our businesses from two home-based offices.
So yes, we are a happy couple and enjoy celebrating our "togetherness" on Valentine's Day and every day. However, we also have empathy for the many lonely people who do not have a special someone in their lives. When we were single we often longed to have that type of union and often wondered if it would happen after the breakup of our first marriages. What we did during those years was to remember that we had a lot of other people in our lives whom we loved and who also loved us. We shifted our perspective and began celebrating VD as a day to love and appreciate ourselves and focus on spreading a message of love to others.
For those of us who believe that life is a school where we learn our soul lessons and that love is the answer to all things then maybe it is time we updated Valentine's Day to something more than a day that has only superficial value. What about sending love to all who are in need, the war-torn countries, those with the devastation in Haiti and anyone else who could benefit from a blast of unconditional love? That is what we will be doing as we enjoy the blessings of our shared path together and with everyone else we love and care about.
So friends we will be sending you our love and light on Valentine's Day and every other day. Yes, as Humans BEING the Light..there is a lot of love being generated through the ripple effect of our shared soul communities on the Internet and in our everyday lives. Within our troubled world may we all remember that love is a powerful force that leads to transformational change. May we all strive to...Love More!
Bright blessings and much love,
Coralie and my hubs David
