Valentine's Day

I wanted to share with you something I read today, in this book, "Simple Abundance" ~Sarah Ban Breathnach.   "Today is a day for being. BE with those you love, BE kind to yourself. BE quiet and call forth the dream you buried long ago. The ember is still glowing in your soul. See it in your mind, hold it tenderly in your heart."

Today is a day to remember love n' passion, as you give out Valentine's or celebrate with your special someone, but don't forget yourself. Ignite your passion, light your path to self discovery and do something you love and if not today, schedule segments of it in, later this week. When we are happier ,doing what we love, following our passion, we are kinder, more fun to be around and our enthusiasm, can be contagious.

 I wanted to share some interesting sites with You; Valentine Inspiration:

My good friend, Chrissy has been on a heART felt hunt, you can check previous days, to view all the hearts she has found.  Chrissy's blog is a fun stop, I plan to show my daughter later today. I remember one period, were we found hearts everywhere, in cereal, in splashes of milk, flower blossoms, rock, and more. 


Kristen is giving a way some jewelry items today. She is an artist that frequents, Stampington publications, in case she looks familiar.  Hurry, it ends later today~


Ellen of One Ripe Peach  has a creative touch with vintage finds. She shares with us a Dollar store make over,  it would make a lovely gift to give or receive.

Alisa shows one how to take a simple childhood favorite construction heart and elevate it. She has many unique ideas all over her blog.

Tessa of Handle the Heat  has some yummy treats to try. We made the Oreo cheesecake cupcakes yesterday, when my daughter and her boyfriend exchanged their gifts. I really wanted these instead. I let the kids choose; they were fun to have in the kitchen!  No food fights this time...last time it was flour everywhere.

Jules of Trying to Get Over the Rainbow has a blog button, she is sharing; Isn't it a beauty~ 

I love her idea of passing the love!   Thank you Jules~

Over at  Crescendoh today, you will find a lot of heartfelt inspiration and ideas. Happy Valentine's Day~xXx
