February 2017 Monthly Blessings

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
– Lao Tzu

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were.
– Richard Bach

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.
-Dalai Lama

February….wow,here it is! The month where we talk about the heart chakra. The stores are featuring the latest gifts that your sweetheart can buy you. The chocolatiere has many heart shapes cut out into fancy reds…and pinks to draw you into the store.
If you have someone special in your life, cherish them. If you have friends,or family that you are close too, cherish them as well.
For Valentines day, I have felt all the emotions, depending on where I was relationship wise.  Over the years, I have come to a conclusion: It is not about the stuff you are given or not given on this special day.
It is about the relationship you have with yourself.  Learning to love who you are has a big impact on how other’s actions and gifts, affect you.  I do like flowers, and enjoy pink and reds this time of year, all types of flowers, brighten up this usually white and bright month ahead. (Hint, hint)
If no one is going to show up at the door with a gift for you, then buy that bouquet of flowers, or a little treat that you would love to receive as a gift.
