Our topic of Conversation, singles on Valentine’s Day!!

Because February means being bombarded with red hearts, pink flowers, and phrases like “be mine” “would you be mine” written in elegant script everywhere you look. For some people, both single and in relationships, Valentine’s Day is an annoying and unnecessary commercialized celebration. For those who are unattached and not exactly happy about it, though, it can be more like pouring salt in a wound.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way! While a couple’s massage may not be on the docket, you can still plan on having a ball on February 14. You can do mother nd daughter massage sessions or girlfriends massage therapy. In fact, Valentine’s Day can be a great opportunity to indulge in fun activities, things and activities to do for you, whether it’s a solo dinner or some self-care. Just because you don’t have a significant other doesn’t mean you can’t commemorate this holiday with some love for self.

There are so many things you can do as a single/solo person on valentine’s day. Here are 23 awesome activities to try out when you’re single on Valentine’s Day.

  1. Go to a movie
  2. Host a singles-only dinner party
  3. Enjoy a beauty treatment
  4. Get out of town
  5. Cook a romantic dinner for your parent or parents

Fact vs. Fantasy In Love….Which is the Reality?

The ReadyWriter

Love-your-choice2-1024x556We all want to experience real love, but how would you define it? How do you know when what you are experiencing is real love?

Defining love is like defining a particular color to a person who has never been able to see color – you have to feel it to know what it is. The reason it is so hard to define real love is because you cannot experience it with your mind, and definitions are of the mind. Real love is of the heart, and is the result of your intention to be genuine, because love is NOT A FEELING; it’s a decision. And you make that decision based upon experience. 

But what about true/real love in relationships? Love is an action that if you don’t use it you lose it. Love is like any communication, if you never send it out, you won’t get a return. Love is something you give to others not something you feel because something happens to you. Love is something that grows from your actions and decisions and if you don’t have it, or is not experiencing it; then there is something you don’t know about love!!

In fantasy verses the facts about love, we may paint a pretty picture in our minds about this fantasy, which  isn’t necessarily built on the admirable qualities we desire in a partner. Instead, it may be based on gaps we hope to one day fill, mistakes we aim to correct, and familiarities we’ve grown accustomed to. However, one’s traits, faults and weaknesses should become a reality in growing our relationships. 

Love is probably the single most universally desired human quality that exist on this planet. Love is not something you can buy or barter, it is not taught in school, it doesn’t matter how rich you are, your IQ, race, creed, religion, social economic status or who you know. Love IS exactly as it does…So as some of you approach this Valentine’s Day, practice making a decision to love and then follow that decision up with actions that communicate love.

But remember…. love is not a feeling; love is a decision!

What will you decide?
