Show Some Love

February 12, 2023 ~ wordancerblog ~ 4 Comments

The 10th also stands as a reminder for me to pause, take a step back and undo some of the knot of work projects.  The work is important, but if I don’t take time for myself and show myself some love, the work will ultimately suffer. Here are 14 ways I'm intentionally showing myself some love this February.

    This is wonderful, and you are in the fourth of your four “dedicated days.” Happy Anniversary. I love these two lines: “a time to remember that we are each other’s best thing,” and, “‘”This is me; this is my face. Hello! You are loved,” I say to myself and grin.'” I will celebrate 38 married years in May. Amazing. Let those 14 ways carry you into the coming days, weeks, and months.

      Thank you, Trish! I loved your blog about Burt Bacharach. I started blogging about him this week – but I couldn’t quite get my thought right. You did! Thank you and Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Happy belated anniversary, Joanne! My husband will be celebrating 38 years of marriage this summer. Like you and your husband, we look through the lens of gratitude more and more. Doing so adds layers of strength, depth, and beauty to a relationship. Your list and examples of self-love are joyful and rich – a savoring of life, like a box of festively-wrapped, quality Valentine chocolate! Your writing sparkles and invites readers to experience this love ❤
