Will you be....yours?

On a day notorious for celebrating those in a relationship, I'm taking a step back & intentionally positioning the spotlight on those of you who find yourselves single on this day. So often you get buried in the aftermath of lovey-dovey status posts, pictures of bouquets posted on Instagram, behind the over-kill of flowers on your co-workers desk or squished beside the giant teddy bear your sister's boyfriend/fiance/husband surprised her with & sat beside you in the back seat of the car.

It's a day that isolates those of us who are waiting for our "the one", who just dumped or got dumped by our "i thought you were the one" or "im ok with myself - i don't need the one to make me happy". Whatever stage you're at on this day, I'm celebrating you because you deserve to be recognized, remembered & celebrated.

I want you to know that you are beautiful.
I want you to know that you are special.
I want you to know that you make others around you happy & that you bring joy and laughter to this life.
I want you to know that of all the Valentines out there this year, you are the very best one!
I want you to know that this world would not be what it is w/o you and w/o what you bring to it. Your uniqueness is what puts the blue in our sky, the light in our stars and the beauty in our 'all around us.'

While everyone is celebrating someone else on this day, take some time to celebrate yourself today. Buy yourself some chocolates, pick yourself some flowers, draw yourself a bath and write yourself a love note. The very best person we can celebrate on Valentine's Day is ourselves.

Be your own Valentine.
Trust me - you'll be the best Valentine you'll ever have.

Happy Valentine's Day :)
