Valentine’s Day, just another lovely day. Cupid shoots another arrow, another day to eat more chocolate, another day to give another card, another teddy bear holding another heart. Oh wait can't forget the single rose. Some ladies are thinking WHAT a Cheap Skate... Is this all I'm get?!....then you see little petals leading to your bedroom to only find more flowers.. Yelp A dozen more roses by your bed. What more could anyone in love ask for. But those who are single you may hear these words from the couple across the room. He says to her…” Hunny, I love you” then she says “Awww I love you More” Blahhhhhhh please spare us single people LOL. JK What makes Valentine’s day more special then any other day out of the year? We all want to find a reason to simply love a little more. So today I challenge you be a little more compassionate to those who we miss or over look. Show sum love and give back to the community.
Big business get all the credit. Chain restaurants are packed with couples standing in hour long lines. National flower shops banking on flowers by the pot. But the local farmers and Ma and Pa shops are singled out.
You don’t have to stand in line with everyone else. Be different Stand out. Reach out to the singled out. Reserve a seat next door and Become a Locovore. What is a Locovore? It’s a person who is compassionate and support local sources. They encourage vendors to supply foods without harmful chemicals, with sustainable food practices and procedures. Most of these products are sold at the farmer’s markets. Make a meal together and hand feed your love with chocolate strawberries, instead of going out to eat process garbage. Use local/ organic foods and wines to make a perfect dish. Remember love starts in the kitchen then the bedroom. So jazz it up the meal with a touch of Barry Manilow and Marvin Gaye softly playing in the background.
Now if that doesn’t light a match try these new techniques.
Don’t buy Same old bundle of flowers: We get tired of flowers especially because they are already dead…
Do: Buy your lady a flesh pot for flowers or plant her a rose bush. Then say to her… Hunny, these flowers represent my love. My love for you grows everyday. But if she is the type that forgets to put water in the dog bowl don’t then this is not a good idea.
Don’t: Just buy any card:
Do: Write her a love letter and frame it
Don’t: Buy the milk chocolate candy pieces
Do: Buy exotic chocolates: Ginger Chocolate, Cinnamon Chocolate, Pear Chocolate and etc… Mmm
Those who are dodging cupid’s arrows, the Single and loving it people.and saying G-d is single why can’t I proud and loud. Kudos to you!!!
But those who are searching for love and can’t seem to find “The One” My advice is to… STOP LOOKING!!! Why, because it’s already there. You are that love that everyone needs. Stop trying to find out what’s wrong with you, and stop searching for it in someone else. Start showing it. Let your love shine to those who around you. Start with yourself appreciate you for you.. You don’t need a women or men to feel complete. You’re only complete when you are totally happy being with you.
Does and don’t for the single
Don’t mope around this year because no one bought you flowers or chocolate
Do: BUY your own darn box of chocolates. As a matter of fact send flowers to yourself from yourself and make up a name so no one knows who it came from. Heck yeah do it!! Trust me this will get everyone in the office off your back!!
Happy Valentines Day
Xoxo
