On Love

I was not sure about writing a post for today or just put up a picture and call it a day... but Monday while doing my blog reading routine I came across a project called Cartas de Amor by Jen Ramos of MadeByGirl. I was mesmerized at the love expressed in these notes and the stories behind them.


I confess I'm not a romantic and have never big on V-Day, but somehow this time I'm a little softer on the heart and have joined the collective love I've seen all over your blogs... Then I found on one of my Pinterest boards this quote from Love Actually {great movie for today!} and was sort of inspired myself.


I'd like to celebrate the love in my life... family, friends and those who come over to read my words and appreciate what I have to give. I celebrate those who have never given up on me, laughed when it was just too funny, or listened even when I was in my darkest hours without any judegement.


I celebrate those who are looking at the future with a positive attitude, contribute to make this place a better world, live passionately with no strings attached, and enjoy the pleasure of traveling and seeing the world.


Finally, cheers to those who found their other half, who are together for the right reasons, who can be silly with someone else, who have someone to hold their hand, and who enjoy the embrace of someone who just make their knees weak. May you keep that love alive, the spark burning and be like in the fairy tales... Happily ever after!

Happy Valentine's Day!

    Your post is lovely and really what days like Valentine's day should be about - not about the tacky cards! Positivity, love, friendship etc. throughout the year are the really important things. Happy Valentine's day xo

    Great Valentines post, I am not a celebrator either but seeing the passionate spirit of everyone here in the blogosphere, it does make one slightly sentimental.

    I love it...what Valentine's day should be about!! So wonderful. I don't celebrate Valentine's day, I think love is every day!! If we could just remember the love we feel on Valentine's Day, every day, the world would be so much better!! I hope you have a great time & love every day xx

    Beautiful post. :) I never used to be really into Valentine's Day either, but I think it's a great time to show people in our lives that we care. I'm a changed woman, haha. Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog.

    I'm with you- I'm not a super huge Valentine's fan (a nice dinner is always appreciated, but no need for the splash out on flowers + candy), but it's nice to take a little time for love. :)

    This is a lovely post. I'm the same when it comes to Valentine's Day (where I looked at it traditionally from a romantic point of view) but this time I saw it in the grander spectrum of things. Love is everywhere! xoxo

    This is exactly what Valentine's day means to me: not a lavish occasion to splurge on overpriced chocolates and tacky cards, but an opportunity to celebrate people who are important to you, who changed your life and who influenced the way you see the world. And that quote is one of my favorites (and Love Actually is one of my all time favorite movies): it made me see the airport arrival halls in a different way. Thank you for this beautiful post!
